Thought For The Day

Pray! Give! Believe!

Rescue crews dug through piles of splintered houses and crushed cars Monday in a search for victims of a half-mile-wide tornado that killed at least 116 people when it blasted much of this Missouri town off the map and slammed straight into its hospital.

It was the nation’s deadliest single tornado in nearly 60 years and the second major tornado disaster in less than a month.

Authorities feared the toll could rise as the full scope of the destruction comes into view: House after house reduced to slabs, cars crushed like soda cans, shaken residents roaming streets in search of missing family members. And the danger was by no means over. Fires from gas leaks burned across town, and more violent weather loomed, including the threat of hail, high winds and even more tornadoes. (Associated Press)

You can pray – for those who are hurt, missing, in despair, and families and friends who have lost lloved ones to death.

You can give – financial resources, supplies, support of any kind thru means that are available to you.

You can believe – God cares! If you do, make sure you take action to do what you can, where you can.

Floods, tornados, crimes, wars, sicknesses, and a thousand other acts of Nature and men wreak havoc in life.  One death in your town, or 116 in one Missouri town – brings moments of agony multiplied by the numbers.

Perhaps you can’t do much – but you can do something. Just do it!
