Opportunity Knocking

There is no security in this life. There is only opportunity. ~ Douglas MacArthur

While some Manitobans have gone on with their lives, others are still in dire need. The photos above are taken last week during a busy week of travel. One is of a farmer’s field near Gladstone (yes, that is not a pond or lake but a field which is nowhere ready to be seeded) and the sandbags on 1st street in Brandon. There is no security in this life. Hopefully, there are some opportunities for these folks who are in fear of losing much—both short and long term.

Tonight I am tired and won’t be saying much other than to please pray for those still affected by the flood. We are expecting heavy rains here again and that will have an impact on things.

Speaking of opportunities, on a totally unrelated note, I won my first Apple product last night at the fundraiser—an i-Pod Nano, Generation 4 so it is not too glitzy. I have yet to figure out how to work it. My niece is anti-apple. My brother, on the other hand….well, think Frodo and hear, “My Precious…..”

Peace,

Suzanne
