Dear Lord; Happy Friday Father!
With hurricane Irene looming to our South Father, folks around here are very much consumed with preparing themselves for a difficult and potentially dangerous weekend. We’ve made basic preparations ourselves; ensuring adequate supplies of food, water, propane and medications, as well as taking in any loose items from the deck and yard. Tensions are running high for many people on the East Coast right now Lord, but Your Presence brings comfort to the chaos. I pray that Your peace is felt by all those living in the shadow of fear, and that they can rest easier knowing that even in the midst of seemingly uncontrollable forces, Your sovereignty never falters.
To help combat the “dark clouds” on the horizon Father, I thought I’d end the week on a lighter note. I came across a video today that just gave me a chuckle, so I decided to share it…
I was never a fan of the original song (I truly disliked it actually), but this version works for me! 🙂
Thank You Father, for all the Blessings You’ve bestowed on us this week. Please calm the swirling winds, and shelter those in harm’s way in Your protective embrace that they may know Your might.
In Jesus’ Name we pray,
Amen.

Love the video!! Stay safe!
Thank you Alida! We fared pretty well all-in-all. God is good!
Have a Blessed Day!
Okay, this video is TOO FUNNY! We work in children’s ministry and my husband found this video about four years ago and played it for the kids. It was a FAVORITE! They requested it every week and soon the teenagers were coming in to hear it. 🙂
I have been praying daily for those in the path of the hurricane. It can be a very scary situation, but as you said, God brings peace to the chaos!
It was just too funny not to post Jenifer.. My kids got a giggle from it as well. 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
Thank you for the laugh; this was great and I will post it to Facebook.
Praying you and yours stay safe in this storm!
Blessings!
Thank you Martha… I got a great laugh out of it too!
Have a Blessed Day!
Fun video, Phil. 🙂 Praying for you and all those on the East coast. Stay safe!
Thank you Lisa! It was an unusual storm for us to have here, but we made out well. 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
LOVE it! Be safe during the storm!
Thank you Allison! I hope you all were safe as well!
Have a Blessed Day!
That video is too funny! We played that for our youth group a couple years back! I think my husband enjoyed it most, because unlike you, he “used to be” a big fan of the song!
It was a fun find… 🙂 I hope the storm didn’t cause you any problems…
Have a Blessed Day!
Oh, I hope you and your family weathered the storm well! I’m anxious to hear from you today to see how it went. Blessings!
Thank you so much Heidi! We managed quite well… nothing too serious. There’s still some areas where the flooding is significant, but overall life is returning to normal very quickly. Thank you so much for your concerns!
Have a Blessed Day!
