PANICO IN MEXICO

Panico is the word in spanish for being afraid. After Hurricane Dolly cleared the area and the rain and wind stopped Paula and I went across the border to bring some clothes, shoes and food, to the colonia. We were expecting total devastation and floods, even though many had prayed for protection for the people there and thier homes. Oh ye of little faith. God did indeed protect them. All the people were ok and surprisingly dry. Carmelo and Ruth told us the kids were very afraid,Panico. The sounds of the rain and the wind scared us in our home in Pharr. We lost power for about 14 hours and took in a little water thru our front door and lost a few shingles from the roof, but to ride out a storm as big as Dolly in a little shack with a metal roof would bring panic to any of us here in the states. How great is our God and His Mercy endures forever. We stopped and asked many people how they were and they all praised the Lord for taking them thru the storm. He didn't deliver them from it, but took them thru it, just as His word promises. An old man was sitting in front of his house reading his bible and as we walked by he told us even though his roof was very bad, got very little water in the house, and was just reflecting on Gods goodness thru His word. We have learned alot about God here and really believe that the poor are indeed blessed and as the sermon on the mount states, the poor have seen God. Thanks for the prayers and remember they are very effective, because as believers, we are righteous because of Christ...
