On A Lighter Note

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.

Dear Lord; Happy Monday Father! It’s been a good while since I’ve laid our conversations to print Lord… Quite possibly far too long. Which is why when I once again felt You urging me to pen my thoughts, I nearly dismissed those promptings. Nonetheless… Here we are...

    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!

    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!

      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!
