Just My Thoughts, by Vickie Witteveen

It was a blessing to me that I could be a part of this team. A team that became family by day two, each watching out for the others well being. The work was hard both physically and emotionally, but by the grace of God I found myself smiling as I picked up tree branches and racked. I could see the spirit moving in everything around me. For us the tornados happened eight weeks ago, but for those who live in the area, it's like yesterday. They need to tell the story and know they have not been forgotten.  Everyone we spoke with were pleased to know that people still care. On Saturday, tears of release came to me as I told friends of what I had seen and heard, this to was a blessing. It is good that were plans to return in July and September, there is much work to do.
