Well last night I blogged about the frailty of life and my reflections about my life beyond this one... Today has been unusual to say the least. The whole day has been listening to radio watching TV and trying to figure out if my house was going to turn into one of those terra-cotta aquarium houses that sits on the bottom of a fish tank. Long story short I think we will be fine. Which is a relief. But gee I feel unsettled and sad.
I must be going soft, but I feel worried for all those who have headed out to evac centers tonight knowing their homes will probably end up in water over the next fee days... And those who go there probably have no family or friends to support them or they would have gone to be with them instead. Dammit i want to help them..
But heres the catch. I have to work tomorrow, I have access and we will be there at 9am serving people... Wishing to be knee deep somewhere making someone who deserves it feel special. Doing something that in my opinion has much more value than working. I imagine the faces and the worry and the uncertainty that they must face and it makes me melancholy.
So now I will try to sleep knowing people are hurting less than 25 mins from my place, in real need... There faces hamper my sleep tonight, they make me stop and ponder how it goes for them. I wish they could feel Gods love tonight, I wish it was me God was going to use to deliver it. I just want give them a hug... Anyways...soppy I know but the world feels lost enough without unprecedented floods... And it's just down my street and around the corner...
