Peace in the Storm

 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."  Isaiah 41:10

We've been having quite a few storms this month, which I suppose isn't all that unusual.  I guess it's just because I've been following the weather quite a bit  lately, more than I ever have before.  It's been rather interesting seeing where the storm cells end up going and how we're affected- or not- by them.

This evening, one came upon us quite suddenly.   Scattered showers soon turned into rumbling thunder, flashes of lightning, a sudden downpour, and strong wind.  I admit it; I was scared- fear is something I'm in the process of overcoming, with God's help!

 But God was with us and kept us, our critters, and our buildings safe.  All we lost was a mulberry tree that knocked out our bench and one of our pear trees. 

 The bench might be salvageable and we're going to see if we can graft the pear tree.

Within fifteen minutes, the worst had passed.  The skies cleared up and left this beautiful sight. 

We're getting light showers...

 and there's peace and calm. 

it's all good. . .
