Tornadoes

A couple of years ago, my husband and daughter went with our church's youth group to do tornado clean-up after a F5 tornado devastated a small town called Parkersburg, Iowa. Both of them worked along side survivors and other volunteers for a week helping clean up the area. They came home with a new outlook on what is important in life and how easily things can be taken away from you in an instant.

Tonight, we watch news coverage of the tornado outbreak in the southern United States yesterday. The death toll stands at 290 with people still missing. Whole neighborhoods full of homes have been turned to splinters. It is hard to comprehend such devastation. Our hearts go out to all those affected by yesterday's tornadoes.

Please remember the victims and families as they bury their dead, clean up the remains of their lives and rebuild. Most of all pray for them. It is going to be a long haul for all.
