When it melts...





As you know Europe has really been hit with a harsh winter and new numbers are reported daily of lives lost to freezing tempatures or like in Bulgaria the dams that recently broke and claimed lives with flood waters. My prayer for our country is that the temperatures will heat gradually and not quickly. With so much snow we could see problems with flooding should the snow melt quicker than the rivers and streams can handle.
The group we work with live right by a small river run off from the mountain. Living by this water gives them supply for drinking, cooking and bathing but I have a concern that living so close can be very dangerous for them should the snow melt quickly and overflow streams and rivers. Above, the pictures taken before the snowfall show us crossing the area I am talking about and a glance at their homes right next to it. Please pray for our country, the homeless who are losing their lives to the temperatures throughout Europe and for the temperatures to be gradual as they increase in heat. No flash floods!
