What a week it has been…many heartbreaking news has taken place. Many hearts have been broken. Many earthly possessions destroyed. Many thoughts and prayers going up for those people. Many volunteers helping in any way they can.
The devastation in the United State’s Midwest region breaks our hearts, and the Inspired Bloggers Network desires to use our influence and the power of our blogs to make a difference. We want to show love to others and inspire others to help the best they can.
How Can We Help?
Volunteer
One of the charities we are choosing to feature, Samaritan’s Purse, is currently enlisting volunteers. So, if you are close to the areas affected, please visit the Samaritan’s Purse website to see how you can serve those in need.
“Our prayers are with all of those who are suffering because of this massive storm. We are going to stand by them and do everything we can to help them recover physically, emotionally and spiritually.” – Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham
We have always loved supporting Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Christmas Child every year…such a wonderful organization.

Volunteers are already in action and more help is needed. Please consider donating your time to Samaritan’s Purse and if you are not available to serve physically, keep those who are working in your prayers.
One of the ways to encourage the children during times of devastation and fear is to remind them to always look for the volunteers and helpers…the helpers are always there and show up.
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.” ~ Fred Rogers (“Mr. Rogers”)
