They would say the same thing about the love and help they received from friends, their church family, and, yes, even strangers! Life often doesn't make sense when we look at it through our human eyes. I just used the same Bible verse from Phillipians as I wrote sympathy cards to our grieving friends this AM. God bless you and yours!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030884632849692028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746965660860204993.post-6449662046899791002011-05-28T02:01:38.940-05:002011-05-28T02:01:38.940-05:00Kim, thanks for your great post and insight. I...Kim, thanks for your great post and insight. I'm sorry to hear about your friends and know they will be missed by many.<br /><br />Having survived a direct hit from a tornado--and it was nothing like Joplin or Greensburg, etc.--I have lived through that morbid curiosity that many people have. We often felt like we were in a fishbowl. People would drive through our ranch, especially on Sunday afternoons, to see the damage and then later to watch the rebuilding process. I remember coming home about 20 months after the tornado (about ten months after we'd moved back into our house) and found people IN our house. They just wanted to see how we'd fixed it up!<br /><br />But through that disaster, we were blessed beyond measure by friends, neighbors, family and complete strangers who cared, helped, worked, cleaned, donated and prayed. That event in our lives molded our character. <br /><br />We pray for those affected by all the floods and tornadoes this spring that they have the strength and courage to face the day-to-day decisions and truly feel His peace that passes all of our human understanding.Brendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746965660860204993.post-57627318157681439662011-05-26T13:17:20.081-05:002011-05-26T13:17:20.081-05:00Sad to hear such callus comments ...
