Patty from Christ UMC
This has been an incredible 2 days. The emotions have run the gamot from sadness to hope and promise. The stories we hear from people who lived through the hurricane are unbelieveable.
Judy and I talked with someone around the block from where we were working. She was sitting in her yard, and invited us to chat. She said that she had left before the hurricane hit, and she lost family members in the hurricane. She had to leave behind a baby, but came back to see the baby. She has decided to abandon her home here, and move to Chicago Heights without the baby.
I asked her if she has been able to live in the house and she said no. When I asked her where she was living, she indicated that she's living out in her yard. She's leaving tomorrow. She's a person of faith, and she talked about how she's been through so much but that God has kept her together. Judy and I prayed for her, and wished her well on her trip to Illinois. She thanked us for coming to help others.
It's a privilege to serve God and our neighbors as we share the love of Jesus Christ with God's beloved children.
