A Shelter from the Storm

In 1968, when I was thirteen years old, Mom and Dad went to a party in another town about thirty minutes away.

 While they were gone a tornado was sighted, and a city-wide tornado warning was issued.

 Dad phoned me at home, “Deb, are you alright?!” I replied, “I'm pretty scared.” Dad’s immediate response was, “I'll be right home!” Dad arrived and took me back to the party with him. How great was Dad's love for me.

So will Jesus come back for us at Earth's darkest hour. How great is God’s love for us!

 If for no other future plans than this, the Lord is teaching me total dependence and faith on Him.

"For Thou hast been a stronghold to the poor...a shelter from the storm...." Isaiah 25:4 [RSV]
