This morning my family and I
went to a friend's home to help her get things back in order. She was one of
the unfortunate people whose home was recently destroyed by a tornado(龙卷风). One side of her home fell off and the roof was
gone over a large part of the house. Torrential rain fell the rest of the night
and all of the next day following the tornado, creating even more damage to her
belongings. The home is a total loss. Still, there is much that is valuable, and
our job today was to help her sort through the remain and find anything with
actual value that she may want to take with her.
My husband helped to move
furniture and other things to the storeroom while our two younger children
helped clean up the yard. My oldest daughter and her boyfriend helped as well,
and my another daughter with me swept up all of the areas of debris, sorting it
for things that are important. We worked systematically, clearing the main
living space first, then moving on to the kitchen, laundry area, then the
master bedroom.
By the time we were done today,
though there was no denying the home had met with disaster, we had gone far to
restore order from the loss that had been there before.
My thought in entering the day
was that our friend, who had been having trouble sleeping, was being affected
by that loss negatively. I hoped that if we could restore order, she would
finally start to feel some sense of peace and her mind would quiet and allow
her the much-needed rest she so deserves.
She posted on Facebook just a
little while ago that for the first time she was sleeping at night. For me,
what a wonderful and deeply meaningful way to begin the New Year!
