A MEMBER IN NEED OF SUPPORT


Many of you know david_ten.  David has been a respected and knowledgeable member of this forum for some time.  His musical journey has taken him down an interesting and thoughtful pathway.  He has always been a gentleman with a positive thing to say. When other members were at life's end, it was David who reached out to them. 

I have had the privilege of getting to know David a bit outside the realm of this forum. Sadly, David's safety and home encountered some trying times with the recent devastating hurricane in New Orleans.  Fortunately, he and his family are safe. However, his home sustained significant damage.  Trying to move forward with limited water, food, gasoline, and no electric service has been difficult indeed.

Please offer David a word of encouragement and/or your prayers during this difficult time. I'm sure he would appreciate that.  Yet one more reminder of all that we have to be thankful for.

To david_ten:  Sorry to hear of the ordeal you have all been going through down there.  Thankfully, you are all alive, and the rest can be rebuilt.  Take care. 
Dear LORD,  First of all forgive me of my sins known and unknown before I ask anything of you.  I ask in Jesus name that you comfort and strengthen David and his love ones in his sudden time of crisis and chaos, surround he and his family now with your grace and peace through this crisis.  By your spirit lift them up sustain them; LORD you said in your word that YOU are our refuge and strenght an ever present help in times of trouble Palms 46:1.   Rebuild and fill David_10 with hope of your new creation; through you his rock and redeemer.  I pray LORD that your presence would be felt by those who are grieving, those who are injured, those who have loss there homes and livelihoods, I pray that we the members of this forum may be a witness to your compassion and care David_ ten and for all who suffer in JESUS NAME Amen.
David, I am a relatively new member from Nova Scotia in Canada but we have watched in sadness the destruction that hurricanes bring to the US. We know as we get the tail end of those storms…sometimes they fizzle out and just become a tropical storm but on occasion they remain strong and we get category 1’s all the way up here and I think about all the destruction it has made in its path. 
My heart and soul go out to you and yours David. I hope you can find the resiliency to bounce back and get your life back to normal. Canadians look on in disbelief as these strong weather patterns move through and how it affects everyone’s lives…I don’t have any children but I think of all the animals as well that are affected. It all troubles me. My sister and children returned to Canada after living in Venice, FL for 18 years…they have experienced the threat of hurricanes and they are back in Nova Scotia.

Was good to hear that you and your family have survived this storm. My thoughts and prayers are with you. All the best
