Rainy Sunday....

UPDATE - 9:15 P.M.:
The William's family are now settled into a Hotel for the next 2-3 days. They have to be out by either Tuesday or Wednesday morning. I am not sure where they are going to be staying at after that, however we have offered our home and Joey's aunt, who lives next door to us has also offered for them to come there. Who knows, they may be at both places.

We did get a few items of clothes for them and the Red Cross has given them a gift card for shopping and such until they can get settled temporary/permanent. Joey and his dad went to the house today to get the windows boarded up for prevention of looters. Joey said that the smoke damage was throughout the entire house and that they are probably going to have to have a professional cleaning crew to go in and fumigate. We will have to cross that bridge when we come to it. I know that there are several churches in the area that are going to donate money, time and supplies to get everything back to working order. All we can do now is wait and pray. Remember, God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

I want to thank all of the caring individuals out there who have offered to help in many ways, such as cleaning, repairing the rooms, shopping, and giving money, clothes and household items to this wonderful family. I think that it has truly renewed my spirit that there are really people out there who care for one another. If you would like to help, please do not hesitate to contact me. All of my comments go to my email first for me to approve, so you can let me know that way. Thank you in advance for your generosity. We all appreciate it.

Please continue to lift this family up in your prayers for the strength that they are going to need in the months to come.

Love to you all,
In Him,
Kelly and Family

One more thing, we got a call this morning from one of the members of the congregation that Joey preaches at telling us that his house had burned. The second floor was a complete loss and the first floor has a lot of smoke and water damage. He does not have any insurance. His daughter and her 2 children live with him as well. The fire started in the 7 year old's bedroom from a Safety Heater that was supposed to shut off when it got too hot. The Red Cross has provided a Hotel Room for them to stay in for 3 days, and after that we don't know what is going to happen.

I will update more information when I get it, but please lift this family up in your prayers.

Thank you all.

In Him,

Kelly and Family
