In SANDY'S Aftermath ~ How You Can HELP Someone In Their Time of Need



Hi there my sweet friends!

Like many of us, these past few weeks have been

quite emotional and filled with sorrow by

the destruction we have witnessed.

We have seen how a storm can turn an ordinary

city and cripple it to the core.

Have you ever had something happen and KNOW

in your gut that it is divine?

Last week, just before the storm a sweet

lady purchased some items from my etsy shoppe.

I remembered when I saw it, that her address was

in Brooklyn.  Well, little did I know how GOD

would use that in my life today.

I had contacted her because her check had not yet

arrived. I had also mention I knew that *Sandy* was

probably the problem.  Today she graciously

contacted me, and through a series of emails

back and forth, she shared that she was

very close the the area that over 100 homes had

been destroyed by fire.  She told me that her

sons school had at least 80 who were affected in

some way.  Those neighborhoods consisted of largely

police and firefighters homes. 

It broke my heart and I got an overwhelming impression

that I must do something.  GOD brought back to memory our

sermon of last week.  God wants us to

WAKE up our world to see Jesus.  To be HIS hands and

feet, to be a light that shines into a dark and hurting world.

 No doubt in my mind but he put precious woman and

her family right in my path for that reason.

What am I going to do?

As of now I am not sure where GOD is leading. 

But,

I am getting the word out to those around me and hoped

that my bloggy friends would take the time and

share in this if they can.

Please give to the RED CROSS if you are able as

the clean up and just basic necessities of life are so needed.

Also, Xavier High School , the school where

this lady's son attends, has on

their web page how you can help directly to this area and

also you may donate monies if you are able.

Just click and you will be on this page to get further details.

I am in prayer for leading and direction.

I hope you wont forget those who are still dealing with

the aftermath of this storm and snowstorm they got Wednesday.

Be a LIGHT to your world!
