Labor For Your Neighbor ~ Our day is done, but there's so much more to do!

This is what the sidewalks and roads are like in Prattsville, NY.

The boots I wore kept my feet cozy and comfortable and I needed them to be.

Thank God Amanda left them behind!

 With God's Grace, a lot of team effort and spirit,
our Labor For Your Neighbor group got quite a bit done.

We spent the day working inside one of Prattsville's special businesses.
This is Briggs {nice and clean} before the flood.

They make baseball bats and other wood products.

The owner was sooo very grateful.  He lost so much equipment and wood.  We tried to salvage as much as possible. I pray for his spirit and strength to regrow his business and wish him all the best.

The captions in the photo album below tell a lot of about our day.

It was long,

and I started to daydream about

clean hair, clean clothes and a nice cuppa afternoon tea or coffee.

BUT

it was actually difficult leaving Prattsville knowing how much help they still need.

The National Guard is everything you expect them to be 

~ what wonderful young men and women ~

The Salvation Army makes great coffee;

God bless them and all the other volunteers for providing

comfort, food and beverages when our day was done.

As many people in other parts of the world know,

clean-up after a mother-nature event can take years.

Chris and I haven't stopped talking about other ways to get people together

for long term involvement.

"Adopt a home"

maybe?

The slideshow moves quickly, to pause mouse over on the bottom right to see the square stop button.

Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and encouragement

♥ to all,
