Waverly Church of Christ

These last two weeks have been a blurr. The flood which swept through our town and outlying areas resulted in the death of 19 precious souls and the destruction or severe damage of numerous
homes and businesses. The landscape around us is rapidly changing as many houses which were damaged beyond repair have been torn down and the debris carried away. More and more we are seeing empty spaces where houses once stood. Many of our neighbors no longer have a house to go home to, nor a vehicle to drive them there. Those of us who were not affected to this extent grieve and hurt for those who have lost so much. However, in the midst of all this devastation there has been a bright ray of sunshine — it is God’s hand of grace. I believe that God protected us from what could have been an even greater devastation — all three of the floods we have had in the last 11 years happened on a Saturday. You and I serve a great God.
