Mountain Tears

My husband and I drove to our city park to see how high the river was here.

Already higher than normal, we’re wondering  how long it will be before the flood waters of the mountains trikle down.

We have had a 100-year flood here, but what we felt here was just a tear drop compared to what the western part of our state has been hit with.

While we send lots of prayers to all families in these devastated areas, we also know these are strong-willed people who will build back. The towns that have been lost will be better, bigger and more beautiful  than before. They have the spirit of eagles and the strength of bears. It won’t be today, it won’t be next week or even next year but one day they will be able to breathe a sigh of relief again.

Here are a few of my pictures in tribute to our beautiful mountains.

This spot was part of a campground in Marion that was wiped out by Helene.

The one good thing that will come from this horrific disaster is that it will bring people of all races, religions, and political choices TOGETHER!

Even when we ask WHY things like this happen we have to remember God has the answer even if we may not agree. He loves you just the same.

Much love and prayers for our western communities….we are here for you!

I love art, especially photography and painting. My next addition is crafts or primarily needlecrafts. And as if that was not enough, I am a genealogist.
