Pull Together!

One thing crises teach us is…we’re all in this together. Let’s join forces and restore life!

Hurricane Ian was a good example of this. Over 500 line-men from many states adjusted their schedules, planned and arrived at the gates of Florida ready to restore after the disaster. They were there ready and waiting…in advance to begin the massive project of cleaning up, lighting up… restoring power and light so telephone towers could work again, the lights could turn on, computer service would return and businesses, groceries, gas stations, banks, the post office could operate again to meet citizens’ needs. Just getting the wells and water towers cleaned, and pressure restored has been monumental!

It didn’t matter what nationality, political party, age, family status, whether they wore glasses or contacts, the men and women were there with one goal. “Let’s get together and get this show on the road!!! People are dying, stranded and need our help!” I love to see this type comraderie! Americans are so good at this!! 🙂

” I lost my wrench in the water”, “That’s OK, here use mine.” “I’m out of bottled water!” “That’s OK.  I have extra.” “My boots are all wet, I lost a glove!” “No matter, use mine!”

People sharing at the point of need with no strings attached….true loving humanity at its best!

Oh, that we can remember these times and do the reach-out and love in the good times as well.

I know the linemen are going to bed every night tired and exhausted, but happy. They have their mission before them and are giving themselves to the task. We are thankful. Let’s pray for them today.

Amen ! 🙂
