We
have had a beautiful day in our neighborhood today. Unfortunately, there have been damaging storms
in other parts of the state and country.
It’s pretty amazing how much differently we experience weather—from city
to city and county to county and state to state.
Dear God, comfort those who have been
affected by crazy weather today. Be with
the families of those who died, who have lost homes and who are confused by the
impact of what they experienced today. And
yet, I thank you for the beautiful day we were able to enjoy today. I don’t pretend to understand why there and
not here, but I know you are present everywhere, holding your children in all
our joys and fears. To you, I give
thanks. Amen.
