PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE
Everyone is concerned and absolutely livid over hurricane Katrina and the damage the storm has caused, especially the many many deaths. Unless we are there, we cannot even imagine in our minds the devastation going on in New Orleans, Mississippi and surrounding areas hit by the storm. We have seen it on T.V. and heard many telecasts about Katrina. My heart goes out to each and everyone affected by this hurricane.
I remember as a young child when I would see a movie similar to what is happening these days in real life -- It would scare me yet I would also realize it was a movie. Maybe I would be seeing a horror movie about aliens, etc. If anyone would have told me then that something like Katrina would happen someday in real life I wouldn't have been able to imagine what it would be like, just like right now, it's hard. To live or be involved in something like that is really scarey, especially those who died or drowned and what they must have felt just before they lost their lives. Many people have lost their homes also and may not get them back, at least not anytime soon.
Those of us who are in different parts of the country, watching these things on television, reading about it in the paper, going about our own business, maybe feeling terrible or holding conversations about how awful this is -- knowing and thanking God it wasn't you or your town, must think of something that can be done. What about those of us who have loved ones there and don't know what is going on with them?
I am asking each and everyone of you to just take a minute (or more) to meditate on this, put yourself in the position of those less fortunate then we are; get into your little private closet (as God mentioned in the Bible) and talk to the LORD, really talk to him and ask him to have mercy on these people and to spare them the wrath of this getting worse. Ask him to help these people to get back on their feet and restore them their homes, and to help those who have lost loved ones, homes and just everything, and to let them feel his presence. In Jesus' Name Amen
