When Lightning Strikes



Tonight we had an awful storm, and I think maybe lightning struck our house again since our alarm sounded right after an awful boom. I was the solo parent home tonight and after disabling the security system in order to stop the sirens, the kids & I noticed that our house siren wasn't the only siren going off. There were fire trucks at the house two doors down. They were there quite some time too, but I don't know yet how much of a fire they had or what the damage is. This storm brought much rain and our backyard is just so wet . . . so much so that the momma duck from last year brought back her baby ducks to play in our yard! (at least that's what Matt thinks)

Storms often come without warning. Personal storms and trials in our life sometimes come without warning too. My dear friend Sherri and her family are going through a huge personal storm since they found out that Sherri has breast cancer. Please keep them in your prayers and everyone else going through this same "storm." Jesus proclaimed "I am the Light of the World" (John 8:12) so we trust that He will guide them through this difficult time and bring comfort, strength and healing.

Kamryn brings comfort every time she gives a big hug because with her hugs, she squeezes you tight. Mmm, it feels so good. Sherri is special and knows how it feels, since she gets hugs from Kamryn every time we get together.
