People shared their food, ice, and gasoline. People who still had power opened their homes to those who had none. People rushed out to clear roads and homes of fallen trees. Selfless power crews worked around the clock to repair the damage and restore electricity.

我们互相之间分享食物、冰块、汽油。家里还有电的人会向那些家里断电的人敞开家门。人们自发的跑到街上清理道路和家中倒下的树木。无私的电力维修工争分夺秒修理电路，恢复供电。

People gathered on front porches to talk, share hugs and offer words of hope and faith that God would see them through it all. Strangers came together as one family to help each other in this time of great need.

人们在前门廊交谈鼓劲、相互拥抱，说着神明如果看到他们的遭遇会给他们带来希望和信仰。

It was such a joy seeing all these people acting like true Children of God under the most trying of circumstances.

面对如此困境，这些人就像上帝之子散播的善良，不禁让人心生欣慰。

Life's disasters strike all of us from time to time. No one is spared.

生活中的灾难总会时不时给我们打击。无人能幸免。

We all get hurt. We all get challenged.

我们都会受伤，我们都会遇到挑战。

We all get squeezed by difficulties during our days here.

我们都会被生活的磨难压榨。
