Today has been a quiet day. Both Tina and I have spend time on the computers catching up on emails and bills and games, etc. I believe our biggest interests are the Afghanistan people, our citizens there, the missionaries that are there, and how horrible the circumstances are there. All there are in our prayers. Our Washington Officials are also in our prayers as they need to open their eyes and ears and take a real look at the United States citizens and the world. They might want to remember that words uttered cannot be taken back.
The terrible fires in California and all the people who will come back to find that their homes are no longer, their businesses gone and having to start all over again. The fires keep going and who knows where or when they will come to an end. It is said that fire scours and cleans so that land that has burned, and that is being burned should be clean and hopefully ready to start new crops, trees, homes, and businesses. I hope that the animals who have lost their homes in these fires will be able to regroup and make their homes someplace where food and shelter is available to them. All there are in my prayers also.
The drought and heat of Southern Nevada (probably all of Nevada) and Southern California that will forever change the lives and ways of the people there. Lake Mead is extremely low as is the Colorado River. I am sure there will be a water restriction put in place very soon if it hasn’t already been set. ai guess the cactus, snakes, lizards and such will make it OKAY, but I have doubts about flowers, trees, grass and other animals. Water is most important to live, any life. My prayers are with the people who are affected by the water shortage, and heat.
The people of the Southern and Eastern part of the United States who are dealing with flooding and rains from Tropical Depression Fred. They are having a rough time and are currently searching for several people missing, road washed out, bridges gone and homes uninhabitable. They are in my prayers.
The people of Hatti who are suffering from the earthquake and the rains from Fred. The amount of devastation and the death total are mounting daily. They are in my prayers also.
I am very thankful for all I have, for my family, friends, home and living in the Unites States. It is not perfect but so much better then so many other parts of the world. I hope that in some small way I can be of help to those who are not as blessed as I am,.
Have a Wonderful rest of your day. Be safe, Be healthy, be kind, be blessed
