How do you manage to hold onto faith through such a situation? To comprehend why God would do something so horrible? Did he try? Did he aim it straight for you? I'm sure that so many questions arise to those going through the pains they've experienced.
I do find it incredible to hear of the encouraging stories of those around who give up their time, money, belongings to help those that are in need. The stories of prayers being prayed to help heal and bring the community together. Although a disaster has occurred, God is bringing hearts together all over our nation to life those people up. Does the bible not say "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).
As you go home tonight, hug your children extra hard. Give them one more kiss than usual. Keep them wrapped in your love. It's times like these we look at our lives and realize what is important, and it not things, but the people and relationships we cherish.
God bless you all in OK. May your recovery be quick, your love stay strong and your hearts be faithful to the Lord.
