Today we had a very large wind and rainstorm. It was quite impressive. I had anticipated a storm all day. Sometimes a storm is fun. I quickly mowed the grass because I didn't want to do it in a storm. But, the storm didn't come. However, in the late afternoon, it hit. Branches from our tree were ripped off and tossed down the road. In fact, debris from our tree covered the entire road and the neighbor's yard and everyone else's yard. Luckily, we didn't lose the entire tree. It is huge. We did lose a little tree in the back yard and part of the fence. Our tree actually looks better now, because so many of those limbs were ones that were dangling anyway. And, the little tree in the back was one I had been debating about cutting down for a couple years. Now I don't have to think about it anymore. I had so much fun watching it. There can be joy found in the storms of life. There is usually a blessing somewhere in there. You just have to look for it.
