by Faith & Life, Meaning of Suffering

The world has watched in horror this last week as Hurricane Harvey unleashed its destruction on Texas, Houston in particular. The suffering and devastation it has left in its wake has been horrendous and very frightening.

In a spirit of gratitude and compassion, here we share seven of the most powerful stories to come out of the suffering that has been caused by Hurricane Harvey.
