My sweet Hubs decided yesterday afternoon he is returning to the Houston area today, with a group of fellow veterans, to serve the elderly vets displaced by Hurricane Harvey. There are quite a few veteran groups trying to clean up, restore, and purchase new furniture/appliances/etc for WWII veterans displaced by the flooding. They left earlier this morning, all 6 of them crammed into an SUV, driving in shifts to be there later today.
Every day of my life, I learn from him (as I did my father) about the sacrifice of service out of love for our fellow Americans. I am so proud, yet so humbled, by their giving up salary, using up all free time, and willing to sleep in the vehicle to help out a fellow veteran. I am sitting here teary eyed and meditative after sending them off with a box of frozen Autumn cookies. Reflecting on the good compassionate hearts of the American people!
Hope your Monday is a smooth one and you have the opportunity to help someone else along the way. It seems there is never a time or citizen without need in our great country. Kudos to all of you for helping others along your way, supporting other causes, and helping your towns collect for disasters like the hurricanes. Your stories fill me with hope for the division that now swirls in our country.
