Gratitude Year 12- Day 197: Today, I am grateful for buckets and teamwork.
An EF-1 Tornado just blew through our neighborhood in Morton, IL.
The lights went out at 8 p.m. and we were looking for emergency lighting in the basement when the worst of it blew through.
Lost a huge branch on our maple tree, but it was as if angels guided the huge bough to the ground. Nothing was damaged by it at our house, or at any of our neighbors.
Our neighbor, Mike, has a wonderful flag for all of us to enjoy in the neighborhood. She took the winds that were at least 80 miles and hour, and she still stands.
The "Ace in the Hole" sump pump backup battery said "ready", but then it was not ready. We spent the night bailing buckets out of the sump pump. My Guy was kind of amazing. We figured out a system and made it through with no overflow from the sump hole. Hallelujah!
Power out. Safe and sound. God is good.
Today, I am grateful for buckets and teamwork.
