Protection

Daily Gratitude- Year 14 - Day 71: Today, I am grateful for protection.

So many checked in yesterday to see if my family was fine. This video was shared by my niece from a storm chaser, filmed 11 miles from their home. It is where we go to shop when we "run to the store" or if we head into Kankakee for any purpose. I am posting this partially to remember it in years to come. Wow! Nature's fury!

Our family is all safe. Many on the Lindgren and Bess sides had hail damage, but all are safe.

My Lent 23 scripture is:

God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. -1 John 4:9

The things of this earth are subject to the elements in nature and man's careless ways. I am truly grateful for the his hand of protection in the storms of life. So far, the Kankakee area has reported no deaths which has been shocking due to the storm's intensity. 

Today, I am grateful for protection.
