Two years ago today the Texas Gulf Coast suffered the devestation of Hurricane Ike. While the destruction was a terrible event that still is visible in our area today, I learned so many things! First of all, I learned that everything that is of importance to me can fit in my car! I learned that Friends are truly a gift from God and that I never want to be with out them. I learned I can live without gas, but life without electricity is rough! However, no electricity actually helps the family grow stronger. I learned that without tv, radio, and AC, we get to know our neighbors better. AND GOD IS GOOD!
Lord God, thank you for being with us through everything life hands us. Forgive us Father when we forget that you are with us. Forgive us for sitting in our struggles and just hanging there. Help us to get up and help others. We know that you give us all that we have so that we can help others, but I sure forget that more than I want to admit! Help me Father, to teach my children what is important in life. First and foremost, you, and then family, friends, and those you put around us. Thank you Father for all of the blessings you pour out on each of us every day. Teach us to use them for your glory! Amen
