Three years ago this week-end we were in MAJOR turmoil at our house......we were on stand by with the phone waiting on news of my dear friend Rachael who was very sick. Time has come and gone and Rachael is the sweet person she has always been in my life. PRAYER!!!!
Three years ago this week-end we were also in MAJOR turmoil here in our city....Katrina had hit and we were swamped with ways to help....food, clothing, housing those who had evacuated to our area from areas that were in danger. Our school opened their doors to children and their families, our church served food and found shelter for many as well.
This week-end we are awaiting GUSTAV. Mark has been in Hurricane training on Thursday and Friday, preparing his staff to handle the command center, accept patients and their families. This morning at 5:00 we were awakened by the phone call....THE COMMAND CENTER IS NOW OPEN. Mark has been at the Hosp. since this morning and is still there as I type (11:00 p.m.) They were accepting planes full of people coming to this area for shelter and relief. We will see very little of him over the next few days. I am preparing baskets and treats to take to his staff to keep them motivated while they work these long hours.
Pray that GUSTAV will be gentle. I am sure you are all watching the news and hoping like we are that the people in these areas will take the help and leave now.
PRAY PRAY PRAY.
