Moore, Oklahoma is where my sister-in-law grew up. Her Mom lives there now. She's safe. The storm passed her by. I didn't know that two nephews of mine work very close to that area. Safe.
My son and his family lives in Shawnee. They're safe. His car windshield took a hit as he drove home from work on Monday. A small price to pay considering all the devastation that happened in Moore.
Since the Moore Tornado on Monday....checking frequently on the internet the rescue, clean-up and recovery. Praying. I cannot physically go there to help with clean-up, but will donate some funds to a Christian organization that can actually go there to help the wounded and helping with the clean-up. Much to do. Makes my chores look incredibly small in comparison to what these people who were in the path of the Tornado's destruction will go through in the coming days.
Dear LORD, Please touch and comfort the hurting right now. The devastation from this Tornado...people need you. Will need your help in the healing department. Father, May those who don't know you, hunger and thirst for your righteousness. May they turn toward you embracing your son and ask you into their hearts for salvation and comfort. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
The Tornado experience that our family went through back in April 1990 was no way as destructive as Moore's in the physical realm, but it was LIFE CHANGING none the less. Got my Husband's attention to GET RIGHT WITH GOD. He cared to change....and change he did. All for the better. JESUS made all the difference. The Son of God becoming Savior. Becoming LORD. Hell lost out. Heaven will be his home when the time comes.
If he had died on that day, there's a very huge possibility that he would have entered into ETERNITY a lost soul in which his eternal spirit would have been in darkness FOREVER. Forever is a very long time.
There is a hell and he was headed for it.
Can I rejoice that he is heaven bound?
Yes. Yes, I can.

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
