We may need an ark soon!

Rain last night and woke to rain again this morning.  The people in Joplin haven't had a full dry day since the tornado hit.  So many helping out over there, amazing what is needed.  Even though the big charities are there, things like flip-flops, flashlights (no electricity) ropes and needed right now....I'm sending money to a friend there who is involved in helping prepare and deliver hot meals to the families & workers.  Little things we don't think about, like massage therapists being needed to give the workers some relief.  The quilt guilds lost their homes and their stash of quilts for the needy, just when they're needed so are asking for supplies to quickly get more completed.  They need everything, including boxes, it's almost impossible to imagine what you would need if you lost everything but the clothes you were wearing.

A time we should surely be counting our blessings.
