howdy peeps -- just to let ya know -- i just got a phone call from Mary @ Pathways - http://maryspathways.blogspot.com/. i know many of you who read here read her page too. i just want to pass along the message that she and her family are all doing ok - considering the horrible circumstances of the recent tornado.
she asked that i send a shout out in her place to those who are worried about her :
her voice was audibly shaken , but she and harry are fine. at least physically so. they have their reefer tanks on a generator -- as well as the rest of their home. luckily their structure suffered no severe damage other than a little roof and shingle damage. but they are sheltered -- in a most primitive sounding way.
she had been in fear of running out of her medications but had found there is a 'place' set up to fill RX's for those who can't get them. we weren't able to talk long - as she said - the phones - come and go. the important thing is - thank God , no one (of 'them') was physically harmed in what was for her and harry several terrifying hours - spent in their hall way in the wrath of this awful tornado.
as in the usual Mary - slash - Harry way -- they are doing as much as they can for others in their neighborhood - who suffered much more damage -- to their homes, and possibly bodies . they are keeping food for some neighbors -- and of course offering what they have to those who were left with nothing. as in the way that tornadoes do -- one home was 'saved' while the other was leveled. also, as many folks who witness, and by the grace of God , survive these types of things - Mary was left with a total lack of words to describe what they had gone through. not for lack of trying -- the words are not there. this has been and is an obvious traumatic event for her. they have been without power for the days since the tornado -- and a possible 7 + days longer to come. (as per their electric/power source).
through it all -- she is holding strong -- as those who know her -- always does. the circumstances they are living under at this time is not easy for her -- or anyone nearby . obviously. but they are lucky enough to have a couple of generators to supply their needs.
i just wanted you to know that if you are among the many praying for her - and hers- God, as always hears you ! He surely has big plans for her in the future. i am amazed at all she has been through -- and conquered over the past couple of years ... i can't wait to see what happens next !
i hope and pray that it is all smooth sailing and time for her to receive the blessings that she has and continues to share ! there just aren't many made like Mary -- keep praying for her and her family.
i love that woman !!!
