All but for the grace of God
After hearing and seeing just small parts of the devastation from the tornados that ripped through the area of which I live. And hearing of the deaths caused by them. I can only say, all but for the grace of God go I. Trees that no one could ever guess would come down by a storm, now lying on the ground. Trees that withstood Hazel, Fran, Floyd and many other storms. Lie broken and twisted on the ground. Houses stand untouched beside other homes totally destroyed. Paths made through wooded areas, debris from the devastation lying in yards, fields and roads. And yet my home only experienced a very slight thunder storm, that was hardly noticeable. I’ve heard of survivor’s guilt, and I suppose that’s some of what I am feeling. I here of a small boy’s body being found in a tree, His sister’s body found later, alone beside all the debris, and a stream of tears falls down my face. I can’t imagine what the parents of those little angels must be going through. My heart and my prayers go out to them. There’s so many stories of such fashion. People hurting all over. Those whom have lost not only family members, but everything else they owned. A lifetime, wiped out in a matter of seconds. I guess we all question God when things like this happen. But the truth is, God had His reasons. We as human beings can’t possibly understand the wisdom of our Heavenly Father. All we can do is trust in that wisdom, and, give thanks to Him for having His hands over us. To all that may wonder where God was when all this was going, I say this. He was exactly in the same place when His only Son, Jesus Christ was hanging on the Cross. With tears in His eyes He watched . He watches over us too. All of us. Protecting us from the storm. God bless all those that are in need, because of the storm. And may I send my sincere heart felt condolences to all that were hurt by this disaster.
Until next time God bless and God save.
