My Sunday Post: After the Storm

Clean-up begins. 

The neighborhood is buzzing with activity.


First Baptist Church
members and families arrive early to work.


Good to have church members who are farmers.


I can not believe the difference two days can make. 


From this...


to this.


My Mr. H. is busy with clean-up.
The road is full or branches
and still a few days of work ahead.


Limbs have to removed
from our neighbors fence.


This is some of the damage...


on the roof.


Not sure which one is the bedroom hole.


Those limbs were like daggers.


We pulled limbs out of the yard
just like the ones we pulled from the roof.




I thought this sign around the church was 
somewhat ironic but appropriate. 

God may be asking his children 
to slow down and heed the warnings
for what is ahead.

You know that when the fig tree
blossoms that summer is near, 
likewise when you see
all these things come to pass,
know that His coming is near, 
even at the door.--Matthew 24


On my morning walk,
I found Spring among the Winter.

With a Grateful Heart,

Bonnie:)

  1. Hi, this is my first visit here, and I see you had a big and productive work party fixing storm damage. I love the look of your church and its pretty spire.

  2. When "Church" people come together, there s nothing like it. We've been on put ends. Helping, and being helped.

    That's what the Body of Christ looks like.

    Thanks for pictures that prove it.

    Love and Hugs

  9. I'm so thankful that y'all where not injured. A real friend helps those in need, it's good to have that.

    It's sad that all those beautiful trees are gone. BTW, I guess you've been warned that as time progresses, more trees and limbs will fail. Be sure to watch for that especially on windy days.

    Have a blessed Sunday. ~:)

  11. It is amazing that people were not severely injured during this storm. Glad you are safe on the Georgia side. The Carolina side is slowly emerging from the downed lines and trees. I love the idea of the church family working together.
