Moms Affected by the Floods

We have watched the news these last several days and been stunned by the flooding damage in and around our city. We have been saddened to hear that two of our moms live in a neighborhood that suffered extensive flooding. The good news today is that for one of these families, the flooding is limited. We are waiting to hear from the other. When we know the needs of these families, we are ready to act to help them find a sense of normalcy and recoup some of the items that they have lost.

It is times like this that we have an opportunity to gain some perspective on life. Suddenly the sticky kitchen floor doesn't seem like a disaster. The toys that you trip over in the night are less a nuisance. Hopefully, the little things that we complain about on a daily basis suddenly don't seem worth complaining over. When we turn our focus towards others, life is better. Stay tuned for ways that you can help these families.
