I intended to write a blog post yesterday, but now I’m just thankful to be alive!  Instead of writing a blog post I was hunkered down in my closet praying and avoiding tornadoes that were literally all around me.  MUCH damage was done, a couple of lives lost, many injured and many many homes destroyed.  So now I’m just thankful for each breath, spending time with my wonderful husband and praying for the victims.  It is very interesting how everything can get put into perspective really fast.  God has been very gracious to me and I feel sure He will bless me with some opportunities to help the victims.

Many people will not have a great holiday weekend.  I hope each of you do have a happy holiday, count your blessings and give those who are special to you an extra hug.

More storms are projected for Monday…..
