Continuing the gift list with gifts found in an unconventional place-- blessings poured upon us after hurricane Ike crossed our path.
70. A family kept together and safe during the storm.
69. Giggles from boys who loved sleeping in sleeping bags next to each other during our evacuation.
68. Family out of state who care about us and call to see how we're doing.
67. Being able to see old friends and meet new ones while evacuated.
66. The green of grass and plants after a storm.
65. Being able to help neighbors wash clothes and keep items cold with what little generator power we had.
64. The joy of power restored!!
63. Reminding a boy to be thankful that he has a home, even though his swing set was destroyed.
62. Neighbors coming together to fellowship and rebuild fences.
61. A prayer of thanksgiving, as all the neighbors bowed their heads, thankful for what Ike did not take away, and grateful that he couldn't take our connection with our Maker, no matter how hard he tried.
