We have much to be “Thankful-2-God” for, as the aftermath of last Saturday's storm system moved through. I learned through the newscasts that lives were lost and significant property damage occurred. I Pray that all affected will have their needs met, this is especially true for the bereaved. The loss of a loved one creates a grief and sadness that only time and comfort can heal. Let us continue to address the needs of our sisters and brothers both near and far with Love-In-Action.
