God has been gracious to sustain His people through works of service this week. Early mornings, hard works days, and late nights have taken a toll on everyone’s bodies, but nothing has slowed down, and great things continue to be accomplished. Yesterday the Lord provided an opportunity for rest by bringing strong wind and rain for several hours. While the work crews had hoped for another day of good weather, it was certainly time for many to rest. For many, this type and amount of work is a daily occurrence. Yet, for others it’s a stretch to be putting forth such an effort for an entire week.
Last night, several people traveled to nearby New Orleans, LA to get a taste of some creole cooking! Gumbo, etouffe, and alligator tail were on the minds of our people, and what it feast it was for each one! Many people commented on the comparison between New Orleans and Lakeshore after the storm. Traveling through New Orleans is nothing near the experience of Lakeshore and surrounding areas. While it was mostly reported that New Orleans endured so much, which they did, it is very apparent even 2 1/2 years later how much more the community of Lakeshore was affected. Very few indications of a major hurricane hitting New Orleans still exist, while in Lakeshore one cannot help but see it all over the place.
