What’s Inspiring today is the way my town has been working together to help our friends and neighbors who lost their homes to sandy. Were with out power and heat for two weeks. There was hot meals and coffee being offered in town for free. Everyone pulled together and helped out anyway the could. Now for the task of rebuilding and finding shelter for all those displaced. My prays and thoughts to everyone who lost their homes. I was one of the luck ones I just lost my power, heat for two weeks and my outside shower.
I’m glad that you are okay Marcie and I’m glad to hear that everyone is banding together where you live!
So glad you could join us this week! 🙂
I love those heartworks – they look gorgeous!
Thanks for linking up 🙂
