We’ve managed to stay dry here in Fayetteville after this week’s storms. We were lucky! I hope you’ve been able to stay dry, too.
Our roof had an intermittent leak for the past two or three years. Various roofers and handymen worked on it to no avail. I even tried to fix it myself once. (I figured a little silicone massage wouldn’t hurt.) But a couple days before the recent storms, a roofer tried one more solution, and voila! The roof hasn’t leaked once.
This is amazing, because we had 14 inches of rain in two days, hail more than once in the past two weeks, and major flooding – with streets blocked and impassable. Extraordinary weather! And yet we were lucky.
When I saw the news recently, I saw devastation from tornadoes like I’d never seen before – whole subdivisions leveled. Businesses gone. People’s lives changed forever.
First, they said the tornado in Villonia was half a mile wide. Then they said the tornado in Alabama was a mile wide. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in the middle of that.
I hope that you and your loved ones have been able to stay dry and comforted during all these storms. We the nurturers of the world need some nurturing, too. Because we’ll be comforting and helping a lot of the folks that are stressed out from all of this. That’s our job – to bless and to be blessed at the same time. What a gift!
