So thankful.....


Just wanted to let everyone know we are O.K..... just a little wind damage and flooding of the barns, but we are safe, thank God. Yesterday was a very nerve-wracking day to say the least; all day long I watched the destructive storms on the radar barreling up the Tennessee Valley toward us, only to see them weaken before they got here.

To my blog friends in Alabama, Georgia, and other parts of Tennessee, I'm whispering prayers and hoping you are safe....

    Thankful that you and James are safe, Paula. No damage near us but slightly north of us is just devastated and lives were lost in last night's storms.

    So relieved to know you're alright, Paula...thankfully, we are, too. It was a pretty rough night for awhile, but nothing like what happened south, north, and west of us. My heart is so heavy this morning.

    The news from your neck of the woods is just incredible! I'm so glad to hear you're okay!! One of the bloggers whom I visit often lost her home yesterday, but fortunately she and her large family ~ including their brand new baby ~ are okay. God is so good.

    I am so glad you all are safe! I thought we had it bad here but it was nothing compared to the other states. My prayers are going out to everyone effected by these storms.

    Praise the Lord that you are ok
    I have been wondering about how my sisters in blog are doing that live in the path of the storms.
    Mother Nature has not been kind to your area this year.
    Thanks for letting us know you are ok.

    WOW, the question I asked you on your previous post almost seems prophetic now. I'm so glad to here you are ok. Me and the girls prayed this morning for all those who have been affected by these terrible storms. Like Dorothy on the Wizzard of Oz, I woke up this morning and was thinking I needed to be thankful right where I am and keep my heart tight here in my own back yard.
    Blessings

    Whewwwwww! I know I need to give all my worries to Jesus, but I gotta tell you, I've been worried about all my friends scattered across the country lately. Glad to hear things are ok, and hopefully calming down for awhile.

    Glad to hear that you are safe. My oldest daugher flew into Chatanooga during the storm, on her way to visit family in Trenton, GA. Trenton was not ok but family had only tree damage. No elect, phone, etc. however. They spent a couple of days in a motel then daughter's father-in-law died suddenly and she had to fly back home. It was not her best trip.
