Blessed, Belated EarthStrong, My Beloved
Instead of being able to celebrate his 62nd EarthStrong on the 29th with family, friends and food, my husband spent it on GUSTAV GUARD DUTY. When bad weather threatens he goes into protection mode and doesn't relax until the "all clear" announcement. He secures our home first, the animals next and then the rest of the property. I give thanks for his vigilance.
Gustav was projected to run below the south coast of Cuba, which would have it north of Jamaica. Instead, we got an unexpected visit here on the south coast. Over 24 hours of non-stop, unrelenting, pounding rain and screaming wind.
Jah, we give thanks for the protection and blessings that have allowed us to survive another storm that threatened our home.

Sistren Dagmar,
Thanks for stopping by again. Our mountain home survived with only minimal damage. We give Jah thanks for His protection.
Sadly, we did have deaths here and many Jamaicans have suffered loss of their homes and incomes. Please lift them in healing prayer.
Please come back soon for another visit.
Bless Up,
Lady Roots

Idren Esteban,
Thanks for stopping by to check on us. The prayers you lift on high for the sake of the sufferahs are a powerful force. Encourage others to pray for them as well. Up to today the death toll was officially increased once again.
(Still hoping to see a NEW BLOG announcement any day now.)
Sistren Di,
When Believers lift their voices in prayer, miracles occur. Thanks for taking time to stop by and check on us after the storm. Our nation needs prayer, even after the storm is a faded memory.
Bless Up,
Lady Roots
