Working Together

In the past week and a half, I noticed how a community can come together for the good of everyone there.  I am speaking in reference to the events of Hurricane Matthew.  This storm barreled into Georgia, where the last major hurricane hit in 1898.  The communities in southeast Georgia needless to say were not prepared.  

During a time in our country where it seems that everyone is not working together or after publicity and fame, we needed to see togetherness.  Well the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew, communities came together as a whole to help each other out.  Some areas did not see Red Cross relief or aid until seven days after the storm, so neighbors relied on neighbors.  

I remember a time when neighbors would help neighbors without being asked and not wanting compensation.  In my neighborhood I saw that come to pass.  There were days of seeing neighbors working together to cut up trees that had fallen from the winds and water soaked ground.  I saw neighbors sharing water and food.  This made my heart happy to see the togetherness.

When we work together as a whole, amazing things can happen.  It is important for everyone to be able to work together and help each other out.  Remember we are not here on this Earth alone, there are people who would be willing to help, if not give you the shirt off of their own back.  Take care my friends.
