I witnessed a wonderful light show put on by our heavenly Father. It was such a sight! The sound effects were outstanding and intimidating. The lights went out just as the performance started enabling us to get the full benefit of the show without distraction. The little ones were a bit frightened and had to have some extra attention, but while hubby slept through it all I watched as the show was exhibited through each and every window.
I am sorry for all the damage done by the high winds - that is actually my least favorite thing about a storm. I can hear it but I can't see it - just the effects of its might. A full bodied storm test all my senses - sight, smell, hearing, taste and feel. Last night's storm would be considered full bodied.
The crisp bright morning displayed a washed and clean world. Even the pollen was gone even though I know it will be back.
I remember the storms of my childhood and can't remember but one or two times that I was actually awed and frightened by the storms. I cannot remember any of the magnitude that we have experienced in the last few years even though part of that may be because of the extensive media coverage now available. In the fifties and early sixties I was only aware of the damage done to my house and maybe a neighbor or two. With today's advancements in television I can see the devastation for miles around.
As with a concert, I enjoyed it while it lasted, but have no desire to see the same thing again too soon. I hope God has finished with his spring cleaning and now I will get back to mine.
Until next time . . .
Happy reading!
Belle
