Thank you so very much. We here in NC are going to be hit hard and we could use the prayers!

Thoughts, and prayers are with them.

I hope that every one's okay.

I hope all in the path of Florence are safe

You are so kind to wish well and also now Philippines. And just gone Japan disasters. Thank you.

I pray for all who may be affected by this storm.

Lovely photo. Yes, it is important to stay safe and be extra careful.

A postcard perfect photo you got in there.

My prayers are with everyone in the hurricanes as well.

Typhoon seems to be visiting places these days. One supertyphoon entered our country's area of responsibilty and expected to land on Saturday with a category 5.

Yes, I wish the same.

I wish safety for everyone.

You are also in our prayer's
