Katrina Rocks Our World…but not our Hearts…
A little over a month ago, the world, as “we” knew it, changed. Friends and family have moved in with us because Katrina ripped their world even harder than she did ours. Our area has doubled in population, as has our Real Estate market. We could run to the store without it taking hours and having to wait in line (just to get inside), and could do so without dodging tree limbs all the way there. Our Children and grand children were in school and we didn’t have to figure out which restaurants were open incase the electricity went out… again… and we couldn’t cook. (OK… so maybe the electricity doesn’t need to go out …I still wanted to know which restaurants are available, just in case.) Some of our homes look different on the inside and the outside… sporting plywood floors, a new blue roof, and of course the beautiful clothes hanging on our new, “not approved, clothes pin and line” dryers.
Yes, our world has changed but not our hearts. I have watched you come up higher. So many of you, with your own pain and devastation, have reached into your hearts of compassion and pocket books and touched others that have also been through the storm. I’m sure that you have experience what I have, through the generators and heat, that we saw our neighbors more. There is something about the air conditioners going off that brings people out doors. We ate together, talked through “approved” fences :), and shared each other’s concerns. Yes, Katrina may have rocked our world but certainly not our hearts. She has made us realize and appreciate what is really important.
Congratulations And Welcome aboard… to our New Homeowners Board Members…

”Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, (who work to exhaustion) and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls. “For My yoke is easy (pleasant), and My load is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
