We are accustomed to wearing shorts and tee shirts on Christmas day. It's going to be between 9 and 25 until Tuesday. Please pray for a couple at my church. He is on hospice, lying asleep on a hospital bed in their living room, and they have no heat this morning! PLEASE pray!! I worry sick about the homeless and the homeless animals. I know 10 degrees isn't a big deal to many, but to us here - it's unfathomable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear we will loose a lot of people this week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you @Dennis1209, I don't know if it was your prayer, someone elses, or a combination of them all, but their heat has been repaired! Thank you so much AND anyone else who prayed but did not leave a reaction. [I do that a lot]. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so many are mentally ill and will not come to the shelters even when prodded to. It just makes me sick and sad.

We have a neighborhood watch that watches out for the homeless that is in our area. Two in particular live under a bridge over the river close by and several of us will go by and check to see if they need anything. I'm hoping someone took them in for the weekend. Here in Shawnee there are from 300 to 500 homeless all the time. They stay in communities away from houses in green zones across the city.. They will be going to the Salvation Army warming centers this weekend for the most part, but neither the SA or the other two places allow anyone on drugs to be there. It will be interesting to see how it goes. We have a detached garage that I don't lock so if they come by our house I'll direct them to go there. We keep a natural gas heater going to keep the water from freezing. 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight it's supposed to freeze hard and stay frozen for who knows how long. Yikes! It used to get pretty cold at Boston. I used to shovel a lot of it. I sure made some US Coast Guard personnel unhappy many years ago on the day before Christmas when I brought my family aboard the SS Constitution for a tour. The harbor's nasty green water was frozen over, looking blackish, and the deck and rigging was covered with snow. Though pleasant they did give us a, What are you nuts? look as they graciously gave "the tour". I think it was colder below deck then it was on the top side. What a fun memory, Boston you're my (home) town - love that dirty water ( Charles River ). Funny how and where God moves many if not each of us along, sojourning to the time and place we get turned about by the Holy Spirit to hear and heed the call to turn to Jesus. Awesome really. God is awesome. This weekend He will have oh so many of us in the USA at least on lockdown, perhaps a nice time to just read the word the Bible that He has gifted us through many over much time, so much time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we, down under are the reverse. Though yesterday we had a great storm with hail the size of golf balls. It also took down power poles and our electricity was off for over a day. Very difficult for the dairy farmers around here. Trevor, (my hubby) took our extra generators to help people keep their fridge and freezer on and to have some limited power. Out weather is in the 30`s - 37 & 38 degrees over Christmas & New Year. And that is about 100 in the old scale. Marilyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
