What the wind blows in.

Have you ever watched as the big winds with weather fronts tears at the country side, ripping whole trees to shreds. I remember setting at the back screen door when Hazel came through, watching as the trees bent to their breaking point. Watching as all kinds of debris flew by, as if being swept from the face of the earth by God's own hand.

With the winds came destruction of many homes and businesses. The storm not only changed the land scrap, it changed people lives. The wind blew in fortitude in some people, ready to make a come back. But it blew in weaknesses in others. Self pity took hold of many, and they just gave up. Sold their lands and moved into nearby towns and went to work in whatever job they would find. My Granddaddy Autry showed strength. He cleaned up his farm and worked long and hard hours to get things back to almost where they were before the storm. My tiny little Grandmother working right by his side. He never to my knowledge, asked anyone to help. It was He, God and my Grandmother against to storms of life. He lived that way all his life.

I wish we had people like that now. It use to be a person had pride in the way they lived their life. Now sadly, you only see prideful people with none of the God given strengths.

We've lost something in the years since then. I don't have a name for what we've lost because there are many names for it. But what we have lost most in this country, are dedicated Christians, serving the Lord, with strong faith and strength in character.

Sadly now...........

The wind of Godlessness now blows strong. very strong.

until next time God bless,

and remember when winds blow in our lives, it's up to us how we handle the storms that rage.
Rom 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
