Blessed

Today I'm feeling very thankful and blessed that our home is fine, and that all we got was a lot of rain. Not anywhere near the amount of rain they got in Nashville and surrounding areas, but Keith did encounter at least one closed road on his way to work this morning. I'm feeling very blessed, but also very helpless. I've been watching the news almost nonstop the past couple of days, because I just can't stop looking at the devastation. My sister and her family were affected, but not flooded thankfully. The community near them, where they go to church, has some areas that are completely devastated. We used to live in that community, and it just blows my mind to see the pictures. I don't even know how many families have lost everything, but it's in the hundreds in that one area alone. My brother and his family were affected as well, but thankfully they were spared the flooding that many around them endured. My sister-in-law has some pictures on her blog that you just have to see. Unreal. I just feel so helpless. All I can do is pray. Pray for the families of those people that lost their lives. Pray for those that have lost everything. Pray for all the people that are working nonstop to make sure everyone is safe. Pray for those that might be waiting to hear about friends or family members. Pray for those people that are stranded, and can't get back home. Just pray. There is nothing more important or powerful that I could be doing at this moment.
