Thankful

We are so thankful to God for protecting us during the storm yesterday. Around 3 PM we had a mighty storm. The lightening, wind, and rain were fierce. We lost power and our phones. After the storm, we surveyed the damage and we're so grateful to God. Our tree by the driveway is at least 30ft tall. It has 3 large branches off the main trunk. The storm broke off one of those branches at the trunk. It landed away from our house toward our neighbor. If it had come toward our house, it would have damaged John's car and our garage. On the other side of our home, a 30 ft pine tree was uprooted and laid down right between our home and our neighbor's. It was our neighbor's tree and our homes are closer together on this side of the house. He got home shortly after the storm, and his first comment was "this is amazing!" It was hard to believe - a sure sign of God's power and protection. We took Mom to get something to eat since we had no power and on the way back we saw a double rainbow - another sign and promise from God. (Hard to see, but over the left top corner of the yellow sign was a piece of the 2nd rainbow.)
