“ Hello ….. Just saying that makes me give such thanks .
It has been quite the roller coaster ride here and we are really able to take a breath today and feel back to normal . There are so many around us who are still transitioning but everyone is truly helping each other in such a great way . We gave shelter to some friends for a couple of nights who were traveling and skipped around and through the tornadoes all the way from OK to Mississippi to AL to us . Their stories were amazing .
Many of our friends here still do not have power so we feel very lucky . And of course we all know someone who lost family or their homes . I have made my list “ for next time ” realizing at the same time that I do it , that it really will not make any difference if the tornado , earthquake , etc . decides to land on us …
I think I may have told you about the debris picked up by the winds and dropped all over the farm . One thing I found was a rain-soaked corner of an 8xll piece of notebook paper with writing on it that looked like it might have been written by a sixth grader . The words left on each line of the torn piece were :
“ This gift is — -”, “ I believe ….”, “ It comes …..”, “ I love ….,” “ hope …”
Know that you are a gift in my life .” ~ email from Suzanna Alexander
