Tonight has been a fun time with family celebrating our grandson’s 2^nd birthday.  They grow up so fast don’t they?  Before long he’ll be driving and then off to start a life of his own.

          Still, my heart has mixed emotions after checking the news only to find that at least 22 people have been killed by a deadly tornado today and they’re expecting to find more.  Having seen the damage a large tornado can do up close, it’s not something I ever want to live through. 

          Our hearts and prayers are for those families who are suffering loss whether loss of a loved one or loss of their homes.  We’ll be making a contribution to several ministries tomorrow who will be on the ground soon to help them and want to encourage you to do the same if you can.   I’ll post a link to each below for you if you’re interested. 

          Looking ahead, I want to encourage you to keep the faith.  As a friend of mine used to say, ‘Keep on keepin’ on…’.   Hold onto what you know is true. Fight for what you know is right.  Live above reproach and when you fall, get back up and keep moving forward.   Most of all, remember that you’re loved by God more than you can even imagine.
