Shelter in the Storm

We have had pretty strong storms almost every day here for the past week, and this one was no exception. It is during times like this that I can't help but stop and look around my home. I see chairs, couches, carpet, lights, a thermostat, my bed, and everything else that is comfy and [key word] DRY. I even think about those batteries in the drawer or the flashlight somewhere in the house that we have, just in case the power goes out. Sometimes I say a prayer for those that do not have what most of us do. I can't imagine trying to find something to take cover in or under while something so powerful is going on outside. What is awesome and beautiful and cozy to us [and yes, sometimes frightening], is possibly the most terrifying and miserable night to someone else. Tonight, I am thankful for shelter in the storm.
