In the face of all that has happened, this is a very minor thing, but I wanted to share it with you.
Last Wednesday, my husband, Jerry, and I were making arrangements to have a family who lives in a mobile home stay with us during the hurricane. To insure we had enough water, we attached a hose to a tub spout and were filling a 40 gallon garbage can with water in the bathroom.
Suddenly I thought about all the things at the church that needed to be moved away from windows in case the wind blew the windows out. So we left for the church and worked about two hours there. Then we filled our cars with gas, picked up some plywood, and returned to the church to welcome another mobile home family who would be staying in the fellowship hall.
That was when my husband remembered that we'd left the water running through the hose into that huge garbage can at the parsonage. I threw my keys to him and said, "Hurry!!! The parsonage has to be flooded completely by now!!" He called me from the parsonage about 10 minutes later with news I couldn't believe.
When the garbage can filled, that hose literally jumped out of the can and across a two foot span into the tub and never spilt a drop of water on the floor. It had continued to run for over three hours safely down the drain!
Not a very good ecological illustration, but I believe that if we care for the House of the Lord, the Lord will also care for ours.
