Today, here in Sumter it was 104 deg. 104!!!!

Today we were contacted by the folks at Sumter County Govt. They told us of a family that was in extreme danger because of their situation and the heat this summer..
When I walked into the home located off of the Boulevard Rd. today,  it had to be 10 degrees hotter inside than it was outside. It was just sooo hot. Living in this home was Granddad, Grandmom ,her very sick sister, 2 children, and 4 grandchildren..... They all lived in this hot mobile home. As we visited, it became obvious that grandmoms sister was in the advanced stages of alhzeimers disease . She was completely bedridden. In this heat !!!

The whole situation was very sad. The family seemed hopeless. It seemed that they just lost their Hope. So after a trip to the local Lowes store, we were able to install two nice window air conditioners in the home. In just a few moments the temperature was dropping. As the temperature dropped in the home, the mood seemed to lift a bit. As grandmom and I talked , I made sure that they were aware that God had sent an answer to their prayers and that we would lift them up in prayer for the future. We had a very nice conversation about matters of the Kingdom....and away we went on the next God assignment.

NOTE: When we arrived I noticed that the whole family was sitting in chairs out in the yard under the trees.(Except for the ill sister) But when we left the home, the whole family was sitting in the den of their home. They were able to go back inside their home!!!

I ask that you guys continue to pray for this family as the days go by. They are in great need. God is so gracious to us !!  Stop for a second...and consider how many blessings you are living in right now. Then consider from where your blessings flow...

Thank you God for your blessings and kindness towards this family...!

Our prayer is that while you are reading this account,  that you would be moved with compassion to reach out to someone around you or in your life that is in need. Could you be a blessing? Would you be a blessing to someone?
