Thanking God for you! (so many linemen to the rescue!)

 

Hi everyone!  Thanks for visiting!  

People in Florida and North Carolina are still reeling from the damage done by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.  At the time of this writing, in Florida alone there are still over 100,000 people without power.    

For many, power loss after a hurricane is a hot, muggy, uncomfortable inconvenience, but the closer one lives toward the eye of the storm, having power to begin clean-up, restoration and reconstruction is really critical.  

Seeing linemen in their trucks driving from near and far across the country ahead of the storm so that they can be immediately deployed to those critical areas is one of those things that restores one's faith in humanity!  What a sweet sight for sore eyes!      

Those linemen...over 50,000 of them...have been faithfully working so diligently in not just un-fun but very dangerous conditions to restore Florida's electricity, and we all want them to know how much they are appreciated! So my card for today uses designer papers that establish that "soggy sheetrock" and "missing dock" atmosphere along with a power pole fashioned of card stock and twine.  

The sentiments are from one of our pastor/ministry appreciation sets, but as you can see, this set could work in many situations beyond the traditional interpretation of church ministry.  

I really hope those guys know how grateful we are!
