Greetings,
Over the New Year’s holiday, I spent time on Sanibel Island, FL. It has been a habit of mine for the last several years to go to Sanibel and celebrate the new year with friends. It is a relaxing, fun, and beautiful place.
In September of 2022, Sanibel was devastated by Hurricane Ian. In fact, the place we always stay was completely washed away. I mean completely. So, this was the first time I had been back to Sanibel since the hurricane. There is still plenty of destruction evident and much rebuilding to happen. We were told by a resident of the island that it is only twenty five percent populated compared to before the hurricane.
I give thanks for the people working hard to make the renovations happen. It will take time.
Like many, I have been utterly stunned looking at the videos of the ruin caused by the wildfires in the Los Angeles area. It sounds like the fires are getting contained. Still, I cannot imagine all that will go in to rebuilding neighborhoods including houses, businesses, schools, and places of worship. I am grateful for the firefighters and others who work continuously to try and bring this disaster to an end.
Dreadful things have happened throughout human
history and they will again. However, it seems to me that recently, some of our disasters are even more extreme. Regardless, I am always reminded in the face of the bad stuff happening, what Mr. Rogers once said: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” (The World According to Mister Rogers). Where is it you see people helping?
God knows that in all disasters there are a ton of
people who help, thank God! Let us continue to look for
them, pray for them, appreciate them, and when possible, be one of them.
Peace,
Pastor Brady
