I've watched with amazement at the news reports of the fires in California, the 800,000+ people who have been displaced and the damage that has been done. It's always heartwarming to hear the stories of good deeds done by strangers but so many people have lost their home and possessions. While those things are temporal in the grand scheme, I can only imagine how frustrating it is to have to wait out the fires while thinking about starting over.
On the other side of the country towns have run out of water. The drought in the southeast has finally taken all the water some people have access to and others are just days away from losing theirs. I wouldn't want to be in that situation either.
Praying for physical needs seems so selfish at times but people in both these situations need help, comfort and an end to their respective situations. I pray both get what they need.

Thanks for the reminder. It is easy to become so near-sighted -- only seeing our own situation. After being in draught for several years and now having received an abundance of rain, we can easily forget the circumstances of others.
