Have a Great Weekend, Everyone!
I hope all of you who enjoy a good mystery (like me!) will tune in for the new Garage Sale Mystery premiering this weekend! I’m so happy to see this mystery series return.
And Crossroad Springs looks like it will be another wonderful episode, too. I’ve really been enjoying this sweet series - love the faith, family, and farm life!
Speaking of family, I also wanted to share a little bit about what happened to my family this week. We had what seemed like a normal thunderstorm come through at my parents’ home. I was there, along with other family. There wasn’t a thunderstorm watch or warning at the time, so we really weren’t expecting anything severe. The lightning became pretty intense, and then suddenly the wind picked up tremendously. Before we knew it, we started hearing loud crashing sounds around the house. I think we all said all at once, what was that?
More than twenty evergreen trees came down, with three of them crashing into windows. Oh my... the mess!!!! There was broken glass, pine needles, debris, and rain coming into the house. The force of everything even knocked shelves from the walls and broke some glass décor inside. (even some sentimental Christmas pieces)
Needless to say, we were all pretty shaken.
I’m so thankful for the strong men in our family who went right to work, even in the pouring rain, clearing debris and boarding up the broken windows... while all of us girls cleaned the glass and debris on the inside, and we’ve all still been cleaning up inside and outside ever since.
And, of course, our weather was unusually hot this week for September, which has made the cleanup even more challenging!
It has been heartbreaking to see so much damage. Those beautiful trees have been there for years and hold so many wonderful family memories. Some beautiful fencing was also taken down, there is damage to the roof, and seeing the property look so different overnight has been emotional.
But even in the midst of all that devastation, we are ALL praising God.
When I think about how close those trees and flying debris came to where we were, I’m simply overwhelmed with gratitude that we were all safely inside, and no one was hurt. Things can be repaired, and trees can eventually be replanted, but our family is safe, and that is what matters most. And all of the neighbors are safe, too, although they also had plenty of damage to their homes, as well.
So, my friends, please take care and stay safe, especially if storms are headed your way. Sometimes severe weather can come so unexpectedly.
God bless you all,
Net
SHINING HIS LIGHT:
Through it all, I keep coming back to this verse:
“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.”
~Psalm 46:1
Oh Net, I am so, so sorry to hear about the damage that storm caused to your parents' home and its surroundings, and of course to the precious items that were so dear to your family! But yes, thank the Lord that none of you were hurt - that by far is the most important thing!! I am sure that you and your family have shed many tears over what has happened, and I will be keeping all of you in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you all!

Mark, thank you! Just so grateful we are all okay. It shook us all up pretty good, especially since there was no watch or warning for strong winds. Just 5 minutes before it hit, I had been in one of the rooms where the tree hit the window and shattered glass was everywhere. I'm just so thankful I went to the den area, where there wasn't any damage.
DeleteSo appreciate your prayers!!!!!
Blessings on your weekend!!!!
oh my! thank goodness you are all okay! -Maria
ReplyDeleteMaria, oh, thank you! It was soooo scary! Praising God that no one was hurt.
DeleteHope you enjoy your weekend. Really looking forward to this new episode of Crossroad Springs. I think this season has been even better than the last, but I loved it, too!
When Hope Calls was recently added to Netflix! Excited to rewatch the first season.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is! In case you're curious, I mentioned this in a post last month here:

I think this is great - cause hopefully this will draw even more interest to the series!!!! :)
Happy watching!!!!!
Praying for your family! That is a scary situation, but I’m grateful everyone was safe!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was quite scary. Bless you and thank you so much for your prayers!!!!
DeleteWow Net! Praise be to God for keeping you and your family safe!! But that must have been scary and frustrating. I’m sorry about the loss with the damage outdoors and indoors. You may remember I lost my home in a fire, everyone was spared but the house was filled with memories, it was hard on me, but I was beyond thankful to Christ for His mercy and I’m sure you and your family are too! They sound so loving whenever you mention them. What a great blessing from God. I’ll be praying for you all as you work this out. And that the weather will be cool so it’s one less thing to stress over. Thank you for letting us know and keep us updated so we can continue to pray. Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd remember His mercies are new every morning!☀️
Abigail, Oh honey... I do remember you sharing with us about your home that was lost in the fire, and I also recall you shared a link to pictures of it. My heart absolutely broke for you... honestly, I cannot even BEGIN to imagine your incredible loss of mementos and cherished belongings, but I completely understand how grateful you are that everyone was safe. In the moment, we really didn't know what was happening - as the wind picked up and we heard the crashing sounds. We didn't know if we were in a tornado or what, and we usually always head to the basement if there's any risk of bad weather like this, but there was literally no indication that it could be this bad.
DeleteWe're still in the midst of clean-up... so I truly appreciate your prayers!!!!
And thank you for the beautiful message that "His mercies are new every morning!☀️" I so needed that!
Blessings on your weekend, sweetie! Hope you enjoy the new movie! :)
Net,
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Prayers for you and your family! That must have been very scary! I can't even imagine living through an experience like you all did. I am so very sorry to hear this heartbreaking news.
Joan, Thank you so much for your prayers. Yes, it was very scary in the moment - just not knowing what was happening. It's absolutely something I will never, ever forget.
DeleteI hope you have a very nice weekend! God bless you!!! :)
