My Mom and siblings live in the path of Hurricane Irene. It was expected to hit late today, and we've been praying for God's mercy upon them. How wonderful to talk with my Mom just now and hear her say that the damage has been much less than expected.Praises:
~While many are without power, they still have theirs.
~My Mom's neighborhood, though it has some flooding, is still ok to drive through.
~Other than yard debris, everyone's home is intact.
Thank you, Lord, for your kindness and mercy!

Mountain Man's faithful Hyundai has 270,000 miles on it. And it's been in serious need of some repairs. With much trepidation, he and Jake headed to get the brakes fixed this morning. We were expecting hundreds of dollars in repairs. What a blessing that it cost just a little over a hundred to get his brakes in great condition.
He was then able to spend the rest of the day getting other things done....oil change, tires rotated, etc. It was apparent, though, from one of the parts he had replaced, that God has been ever gracious in protecting him each day to and from work.

It's been a great day of catching up on some deep cleaning, enjoying a 2 mile run/walk with Mountain Man, savoring the green, green landscape and the lovely sunflowers, finishing many loads of laundry, putting things away from the trip, and watching Cap'n try to walk. And dinner? Well, that would be homemade bacon cheddar burgers. Yum!
Now he thinks he's invincible. :)
Praising God with you guys! I love knowing our God is taking care of us. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the last picture!!! Priceless!
God is so good. Very glad to hear that he kept your mom and those around her safe!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little man you've got. Time goes so quickly, though, doesn't it?
Continuing to pray for your cousin and her husband- God has more goodness to give, I know. Praying that Michele stays strong through this. God says "For I know the plans I have for you..."
So precious-he is just so sweet. I love it when they first learn to walk. Praising God for His loving mercies on your family members. My family is in NY but they are more near Buffalo so thankfully they have just had some wind and rain.
ReplyDeleteStill praying for your cousin and her husband as well. Hoping they are doing well. So glad that you are home safe and enjoying your beautiful family again.
Hugs-Love you friend
