My husband and I returned from our trip to Michigan and yesterday celebrateed the preschool graduation of our 5 year old granddaughter. Should have been largely a nonevent other than the happiness of watching a 5 year old sing and dance as she leaves preschool. What made this event different was that it was held in an area of Katy called Cinco Ranch and it started at 5:00 p.m. If you were aware of weather conditions across Texas, you may have known that really strong storms were crossing the state. We went to a local Mexican restaurant following the sweet ceremony to be greeted immediately with lights out. Storms were knocking down towers which caused electricity to go out in a big part of Houston. As high winds ravaged the area, we ate in a phone lit restaurant. It was almost surreal.
The above reminds me of what it is like to be in a relationship with God our Father and Christ our savior. Life storms whirl around us all the time. They can be in the form of personal relationships or involving our health. Still we persevere as feel our Lord surround us and we know regardless we will be safe with him whether He preserves us through the storm here or takes us to be with Him for all eternity. Whatever your storm, have faith and keep going. Keep being courageous. God is our present help in all danger.
