Here's a different picture.....comparing father and son...
How very special are newborns?
Life is also pretty grand. Especially precious when you have a close call.
Mine came on Sunday evening. We were all home from the hospital, all rushing around trying to help the new mom, take photos, etc. I jumped in the car to run to CVS just down the road to pick up a few items when I heard the siren. It had gone off earlier that day when we were shopping at Sam's. Yes I did know it was bad weather but we were busy getting things ready at home. There were pictures to order, steak, chicken and veggies to get ready to grill.
Directly behind the CVS was a path I guesstimate to be 3 car lengths wide. My son saw the other side the next day and said the tornado skipped over CVS and took out a church behind the store on the other side. I am telling you this is one grateful, new GRAM, grandma, or whatever this child wishes to name me! We were without electricity so we cooked supper on the grill, corn and all!
We used our smart phones....thanks for the flashlight app.....and a caving helmet to see. The lights did come on before we went to bed, but no cable or internet until Tues. afternoon.
We continue to pray for those who lost homes in MS. I still do not know if any lives were lost. We are thankful for the LORD's hand of protection! Do you know the power of prayer? Have you tried it lately? You don't have to wait for a tornado sister, He is listening for you to acknowledge the GREAT I AM.......
Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart!
Blessings to you and your family!

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog, Dee at the Carlton, because it meant I could return the visit to your blog.
ReplyDeleteYour account above just left me cold out of fear for what you faced. My gosh - nature reminds us of its power. I share your faith & would certainly pray in situations like that. Congrats on your new grandson - a blessing indeed.

Oh my goodness Lynda!! OH MY GOODNESS!! My grandmother went through the tornado in Joplin in a trailer, so I've seen first hand the destruction they can leave. I'm so thankful you weren't hurt! Yes, I DO believe in the power of prayer. And congratulations on your new grand baby! You must be so tickled to finally meet him. I'm so excited for you, and can't wait to see more pictures and hear more about him. Enjoy the rest of your week!
