So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10, ESV
The cost of following Jesus is getting over ourselves, and we should therefore treat others the way Jesus treated us, with sacrificial love, especially within the Church.
I also have family in the North/South Carolina area, having heard of loss of power and cell signal for days (power still out for a lot of people), and gas stations out of gas. The town my brother-in-law was married in in Georgia had many trees uprooted/knocked over.
Thankfully, everyone I know is alright, but they can’t do a lot of cooking at home either due to power constraints or having had to empty their fridges, so they are utilizing the restaurants that have power to get food. Naturally, this is costing extra money.
Let us pray for a quick recovery, wisdom and peace for those affected, and communities to work together well.
