The Storms
Lord, thank you for keeping all of us safe during the storms that went through the midwest this weekend. Thank you for keeping my son safe as we heard on the phone the howling winds from that tornado that passed by him so far from home. Thank you for letting my sister and brother and their spouses and children leave the lake on time, just hours before the tornado ripped that campground, marina, and boat storage apart. Thank you for keeping them safe throughout the terrible storms on their way home. The boats and campers lost are just stuff Lord and we are grateful for your protection of what is really precious, our loved ones. Thank you for giving me a peace about my car, which was damaged from the hail. It is just a thing. And I accept your lesson in all of this... that stuff is just stuff and it was never meant to last. Help me to bind closely to my relationships here on earth and loose my grips on petty arguments, feelings of jealousy and rejection, and holding on to stuff that doesn't matter because what is bound on earth you promise will be bound in heaven and what is loosed on earth will be loosed in heaven. I just pray that you comfort those who did lose loved ones in the storms this weekend, and help those who lost homes find shelter and food and most of all, love and caring people to help them. Lord you are the one who will turn the black clouds of these storms in to a spring rain, the tragic twirl into a summer breeze. Thank you again for keeping my loved ones safe through the storms. Amen.
