It has been an incredible terrible week for the South! The storms have left so so much loss!! My children have been out of school since Tuesday. It really has been nice. It seems that each night we were up all night with sirens and moving to safe places and each day sunshine. Chelsea and Bo were here all week, a rare thing and so very nice!! I so enjoy them:) We have worshipped together, Bo giving the devo on Wednesday(and doing a great job!!). We have watched ballgames together (Seth and Ryan had their first games last night). We have played cards together...Scott and I have played Chelsea and Bo in Spades every night...so much fun! I suppose in the midst of the middle of the night sirens and all the passing in the hall at 2am and 4am and 6am we have just had the kind of "fun" a mother has when her chicks are all here!
Around us, just a couple of short hours away there has been such incredibly horrible devastation by tornado's, heralded the worst of the century. It is hard to reconcile such joy and such sadness all at once. So much of life as a Christian is spent reconciling those two emotions....in the midst of this world we actually do find joy. In the midst of the loss I have seem so many serving, taking the sad but huge opportunity to love and help others.
