Home Is Where My Heart Is

Wind...and Little Boys

It surely has been windy and rainy for the past few days here on our little Pennsylvania homestead.  There has been a "nor'easter" pounding our area since early Sunday with no sign of letting up now on this Tuesday morning.  Last night the weatherman said that this weather pattern will probably continue until the end of the week.  Isn't it supposed to be spring???

Well, this terrible wind at night has really been frightening my three younger boys:  Noah, Isaiah, and Jesse.  They get so fearful at night when they are put to bed, asking if the wind howling around the eaves of our home will "get them."  I softly remind them that God is in the wind, as He is everywhere.  They should see the wind as tangible evidence of His presence and rest peacefully in this reminder of His love and care for them.  When I assure them that it is God Who makes the wind blow, and it is God Who makes the trees stand fast even in the face of such wind....and it is the same God Who holds their very lives in His hand - that's all these sweet boys need to nestle down in their warm beds and slumber through the night.  After all, who couldn't sleep peacefully when God is right outside the window reminding them that He loves them!!

He loves you too...remember!!  Love, Cherylann

cherylann,
Your post reminds me of the passage of scritpure when the storm is raging and the disciples ask Christ if he does not care if they perish? He calms the see and they are all amazed...... I am still amaze at HIS wonders ~ He does calm the troubled seas, and even if the storms rage around us.... we can feel peace!

Love your blog,
