112 The Storms Rolled Through

From 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. storms rolled through our county last night. Fortunately, my dinner party was planned for inside, but my husband had spent hours cleaning the deck and patio so they could enjoy the beautiful grounds of the condo with iced tea and cider served outside. It was darker at 5 than it was at 8:45.

But we had a wonderful time of fellowship with our soup and dessert. One member of our group is so open and joyful about his love of Jesus that he always brought us back to the point of our gathering if we wandered--not by being harsh or critical, but just by telling another story of how he brought Jesus to someone who didn't know him.

The thunder rolled and the lightning flashed, and we all nodded in agreement, safe and cozy in God's love.
