Thankful......Blessed!

I have struggled with what to say this week about my experience here in New Orleans. I have found myself in neighborhoods talking to people that I would never have thought I would find myself in and what a blessing it has been. Everyone that we have met has welcomed us with open arms, a hug, a plate of food, an expression of grattitude. I am overwhelmed by the experience. The people here have little in possessions and yet are so rich in their faith! They know how blessed they are to even be alive and each one has a different story, a storm story. Hearing these stories remindes me of how blessed our family is and how thankful we need to be for every minute that the lord gives us here until we meet him!
