Hurricane Ike

First off I want to say we were very blessed during Ike, our home was untouched by the hurricane except for a few downed trees and no TV for a couple of weeks. I thank God for his love and protection. I pray for those who were affected by this storm.  My 2 daughters houses were damaged and I pray for God to bless them. I hope the repairs and funds for their homes are fully restored better than before.
Our daughter, grandbaby , son in law. and puppy dog Sarah, stayed with us after Ike came through, we are truly blessed in our relationships with our children.  It was only yesterday that they went back home after 2 weeks and although it may sound crazy to some but we miss them already.  My daughter called last night and said she was sad to leave.  It blessed me that she felt the same as I.   I believe it is God that has made our relationship so unique.  We both love God and have much of the same interests and beliefs.  I suppose I'm posting this because of the old saying, "ya cant live with family", but we did.  How cool is that?  I have to add we are very grateful to our kids who were here & helped us so much. They helped with house work, cooking, and cut and hauled many tree limbs. Thank God for kids, for they give us joy, and support, and help us in more ways than I can count!!!  We also got to spend a great deal of quality time with our precious  grand daughter.  It was a blessed time all the way round.  Family  is so important  in times of need, good times, & hard.  Who besides Our Lord God can we count on besides family.  Stop and remember your loved ones, What would we do without them???
