Say a prayer for these families: Mississippi Delta Begins To Flood

Please take a moment to keep these families lifted up in prayer. People handle tragedy in different ways and we know only God will be able to provide these people with the strength they need to endure. So, say a prayer and if you can provide some financial support please do… just think, what if it were me or you. Here is what is being reported in the Huffington Post:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Parts of the Mississippi Delta are beginning to flood, sending white-tail deer and wild pigs swimming to dry land, submerging yacht clubs and closing floating casinos, and compelling residents to flee from their homes.  The sliver of land in northwest Mississippi, home to hardship and bluesman Muddy Waters, is in the crosshairs of the slowly surging river, just like many other areas along the banks of the big river.

To points much farther north, thousands face the decision of whether to stay or go as high water kept on rolling down the Mississippi and its tributaries, threatening to soak communities over the next week or two. The flooding is already breaking high-water records that have stood since the 1930s.  "We're getting our mamma and daddy out," said Ken Gelston, who helped pack furniture, photos and other belongings into pickup trucks in Greenville, Miss.
