Weathering the Storm
When thunder and lightning happen, cats, dogs, squirrels like to be in a small, safe , enclosure. Inside animals will hide under beds, outside they are appreciative of a box or little house to hide in. People are no different it seems.
1. Do storms frighten you or make you cautious? I am only scared if we have tornadoes. I will have the news on or be watching my phone app radar. I am used to storms, so if it is just a regular storm, I am not scared.
2. What is the worst weather you can remember? I cannot remember what year, but we had training tornadoes, so we would have one right after the other and this went on for hours. I was a basket case after that night.
3.Are you in a personal storm right now and do you need our prayers to help you through it? I think many bloggers are prayer warriors indeed. I am praying for my mom. She had a stroke in
January, and she will never be the same again. She has lost a lot of memories and some
vision. She does seem to be doing well though. I pray that she can stay healthy during
the cold and flu season and I pray that she would not get any UTI's which make her even
more confused.
4. What is the best advice you can give to others about weathering storms of any kind. Go to
God in prayer. He can help you get through.
Hi Lori, I will keep your mom in prayer.
ReplyDeleteStorms, especially one after the other can be very draining. Sorry to hear about your mom. I've been through what you're going through and I live-in a different city altogether. It's very worrying and draining. God helped me through it all. I'll add my prayers to yours and others for young your mom. xx
ReplyDeleteLori: My prayers are with your Mom!
ReplyDeleteI know if I lived in a more tornado prone area I would not like that. We've had some close calls here in Florida with tornadoes, but thankfully they are not the norm. Hurricanes I can prepare ahead for, but not really much you can do for a tornado except hunker down and pray! I will be praying for your Mom. I can well imagine how difficult that is for you and for her as well. May God give you wisdom and patience and a lot of love for those difficult times.
ReplyDeletePamela, I have lived here all my life. Many people here have tornado shelters or basements. Our soil is hard as a rock. Now with that said, we do not have a tornado shelter at our house, but my sister-in-law and my mom's house both have basements. The weather is so good now that you usually have time to get to safety and you know how dangerous the tornado might be. I feel the same way about hurricanes. I am not used to those and I would not know what to do. I always pray too.
DeleteThank-you for the prayers.
Lori, I am sorry to hear about your mom. I pray she stays healthy without any sicknesses. I can't imagine that tornado training you endured. I would be a basket case as well.
ReplyDeleteI'll be keeping you and your mom in prayers Tornadoes are so awful.. a whole night would have me in the funny farm for sure.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about your dear mom and will keep her on my prayer list. Tornadoes are frightening, for sure. We have a few days warning for hurricanes, but tornadoes just drop from the sky with no warning. Sending a hug!!
