Blown Away...

The devastating tornado that ripped through Oklahoma this week is a tragic reminder of how quickly things can change and how precious life really is.  When you are left with nothing but the clothes on your back you realize what's important in your life and what's not.  As most people who have suffered through an unbelievable tragedy know, what once was normal will never truly be the same again.  Loss can come in many different forms and be felt in many different ways, but it's still sad, hard to understand and shocking to the system.  How do we cope?  With God's grace, faith, belief in ourselves and what's possible tomorrow and of course with friends and family. 

So take just a minute...because something like a tornado doesn't take very long to destroy everything you have...and just be at peace and calm within yourselves and think about what is truly important in your life and what is not.  If it were taken away in that one minute, what could you live without and what would bring you to your knees.  Please pray for all those affected by tragedy this week and do your small part (whatever that is for you) to show those suffering what is possible tomorrow!
