I took this picture in the Columbia South Carolina area last fall. Believe it or not, it is 10 days after the flood waters were attempting to recede. This is a river....with water covering the tree trunks. I hope that gives you a sense of the how much water this area had to deal with in a very short period of time.
I have written about the efforts in the Lower South Beltline area by the amazing volunteers previously. Please see this post for more of my first-hand account when my husband and I went to join in the efforts to help those who were impacted by this natural disaster.
I continue to watch the volunteer effort through social media and am amazed at the goodness and Christ-like service from the many volunteers who continue to serve the impacted residents of this area.
The following Video was produced by Les Carroll describing some of the efforts of the many volunteers shortly after the Flooding occurred. It is well done and worth your time to view it.
"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25: 40
The good folks of the South continue to set the bar....
