nimmle02, thanks a lot for reminding me that my husband sent me Belgium chocolates. He is deployed. Anyway, I have been eating chocolate everyday for almost a week now. I told myself to stay away from them…but after your post reminded me I have chocolate, now I am tempted to eat it and I lost 10lbs. since he left.
ak9874, I also have had many experience with devastating weather. I grew up on a small island (Guam) that is in the path of typhoons, which occurred almost every year and at times more than twice a year during typhoon season. (Yes, we actually have typhoon seasons). Anyway, growing up, we lost our home twice, had no power and water for weeks. However, because I grew up poor – and in a way not many people would understand or agree with – growing up poor had a blessing of its own: We adapted well and the conditions we endured following a typhoon never really brought our spirits down. We never had much to begin with so the loss of power, water, little food did not affect us a great deal.
But for people who grew up financially fortunate I can't imagine how difficult it is to deal with losing their homes and having to live through the conditions Sandy's victims are going through. I just have to pray for them and to thank the Lord that situations like these help bring people together and pray that it draws affected people closer to God.
