Staying Safe

(1/3) > >>

Extol:
On a cloudy, drizzly Saturday I was out doing yard work for a good part of the day. One of the projects I wanted to do was make a big bonfire to get rid of some brush and fallen tree limbs. A lot of the wood was wet, but I wanted to try anyway, so I got some dry twigs to get it going. I tried twice, but each time the raindrops put it out. On the third try, the rains came heavier than they had come all day, so I finally surrendered. I said, half-joking, "Well Father, I guess you just don't want me to make a fire today." The rains came heavier still, so I postponed the other project I was working on too (raking a big pile of weeds and sticks.) I went back in the house with my dog, and a handful of minutes later, a small tornado ripped right through our yard. It probably would not have been good to have a bonfire going during a tornado. Also, a large tree (over 30 feet tall) crashed right where I had been raking. Thanks be to God for watching over us. 8)

Extol,

So glad you are okay!  Thank you so much for sharing this... It's amazing the works God does to the children of men!

Psalms 107:8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

I have to add this in a well..... We know God is working all things....

I had a friend (Tim) who went golfing with another buddy and they were in two seperate golf karts. Tim said they were driving to the next hole and he heard a loud "SNAP" and this huge tree limb fell directly onto his buddy's golf kart, right in front of Tim. It killed Tim's friend instantly. Tim watched his friend die.

They were just out enjoying an afternoon of golf!

AMAZING!!!  AMAZING!!!!

Psalms 107:8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

ECC 7:1  A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.

Extol saved from being squished by a tree..... AMAZING!!!

Tim's friend died by tree limb.... AMAZING!!!!

I am constantly in wide eyed wonder at all these events that God works. I'm like a little kid watching a magic show. It simply amazes me, and I'm  SO VERY THANKFUL He's given us the eyes to see and the ears to hear.... to know it's all of Him.  I LOVE IT!!!

*does happy dance*
