Just a thought by coppi

Storms are frightening.  We just recently experienced two – Helena and Milton.  We missed Helena that hit Sugar Mountain and North Carolina by only a few days, but I have friends still fighting to restore Sugar Mountain.  The damage in that part of our country was/is atrocious and frightful.  However, we came home to Milton.  The damage Milton did in and around our area was nightmarish.  Hugh trees housing trunks so large, pulled out of the ground, landing on tops of homes.  Storm surge water and debris everywhere. It was sickening and very frightening.  

In life, grim happens within us.  death, broken relationships. financial problems, sickness, on and on it goes causing wreckage in our souls and psyche.  In my life, I have gone through the surges and debris caused by these nightmarish times.  It was difficult.  I try to block the images from my mind.  I say “That was then, this is now”,  “Jesus was with me, and carried me through the pain” – “All that debris was surged out of me and I am alive and well”.  I gleaned from these experiences, and I try to stay away from cause and effect of anything lead by human doing, my doing, and life happenings. Jesus is my source.  I have given my life to Him.
