Today and for some time to come, my prayers will be with Joplin. I pray that families grow closer, that the community pulls together, and that people everywhere see this as an opportunity to serve each other. Romans 8:28 promises “in all things God works for the good of those who love him.” This tornado was not a good thing. But good can come out of it.
Please join me in praying for the city of Joplin. Feel free to leave a comment. Share and let’s talk about it.

Thanks for sharing, I'm out of the loop on this side of the world.
I'm your newest following from the Saturday Spotlight and hope you follow back. The blog post I decided to Spotlight of mine is also about the devastation in Joplin! Glad to see someone else posting about it too!
This is a horrific disaster. This really hits home because I only live about 3 hours away from where this happened and a tornado tore apart the southern part of my moms town in Sedalia, Missouri. I have been through many tornado watches and hidden in many bathrooms praying that a tornado does not touch down. I couldn't even imagine actually going through what the people of Joplin went through. I pray that you go to this website and give anything that you can to help the people move on http://www.redcross-ozarks.org/donate/
