So This Is What I Did...

...To say YES today!

Because I can and I will!

A friend from long, long ago in a far away place had a family crisis. We were friends in junior high. Thanks to the miracle that is Facebook, we reconnected.

So her sister Carey lives in Joplin, Missouri. And Joplin was just hit by a serious tornado, and Carey's house was destroyed. She has no insurance to cover the damage. None at all. I feel horrible for them. They have nothing.

I kept getting this feeling that I could help. Normally I'd think of all the things I could do for them, and then I would forget about it or think something like, "Oh, they don't need me. Oh, I can't do that." But instead, this time, I decided to say yes. I can say yes to helping.

Then I thought, "Well, I can send them a gift certificate for Walmart." But that didn't seem like enough. And I kept thinking that maybe I should send out an message to friends in Rockwall. So I did. And I'm going to gather clothing and money for them. I don't expect anything in return, except that I will feel good about doing something for someone who is in need.

And I'm discovering that I can say yes...yes I can!
