Prayers Still Needed

Well, the past 2 days I have spent talking on the phone with my sister, when she can get a signal! You see, I am the kind of person who likes to know the details. I don't have to know the exact time they will happen but an approximate will do. I want to know what we are going to do and when we are going to do it. I am sure I drive my family crazy with this.

So, of course, I am trying to ask my sister all these questions.

*Did you have insurance?
*Did you loose your computer?
*Are the animals safe?
*What will you do with the money? Rebuild on site? Rebuild elsewhere? Put down payment on land? Put down payment on new house?
*Is the community helping?
*Do you need food? Clothing?
*Do you need me to come up there?

And, many more questions that my feeble brain has come up with. More than she could answer. My brother-in-law is very well known in Ripley, TN. His father was constable at one time (God rest his soul) and both his mother and father ran the ambulance service for Lauderdale County before they both retired. The community has stepped up and is helping them get back on their feet by donating clothing for the girls and food. They are staying with Kirk's mother at this time, so they have shelter. My two nieces are in public school so there is no need for homeschool curriculum or anything like that.

So, that leaves prayer. Don't get me wrong, I think prayer is not taken serious enough. Too many people think we pray too much or too long. Well, the bible tells us to "Pray without ceasing." So, if that's how I can help my sister right now, then that's what I'm going to do!

Lord, I thank you for Your provisions. I thank You for Your forgiveness. Please continue to be with my sister and her family. They NEED You, Lord. Please show them that. I thank You for the community who has been willing to help. Lord, You are the great Provider. In Jesus' Name. Amen
