Even if they do not want to put their Trust in Him. However; they must know that a him run things and not the so call god's of God's amazing world.

ReplyDeleteI hope there are no injuries!
ReplyDeleteI was in my kitchen standing by the peninsula counter, which is under the supporting beam of a two story townhouse. An end unit, of a cluster of six townhouses.
ReplyDeleteThere was a terrible sound accompanying the sharp movements and rumblings and vibrations and I figured that where I was standing could be the safest place to be at the moment.
After the movements stopped I tried calling my neighbour on what's App but the electricity power was off, so no internet. Tried calling straight, no connection. Networks not working. This was really the strongest earthquake I had ever experienced in Jamaica.
I had my wits in tact and waited for the aftershocks, which came. I also thought about what I needed to put in place, emergency wise. Not only for earthquakes but everything..
We need an Emergency bag packed and ready, just in case we have to be rushed to hospital. We need one in our car with water, crackers, and other nonperishable items. A container to pass our urine, tissue ,
because on a normal day we could be gridlocked in traffic, can't move,and also have children in the car.
We need a First Aid kit. Flashlight and batteries, energy bank to charge you phone, smelling salts.
Let us begin to think *WHAT IF*
Because on a bright sunny day the unexpected could happen.
