Faith and Hope

The sun was out for about a hour this morning and now it appears more rain is setting in... Our area really hasn't been able to complete many outdoor chores due to rain in forecast for several days at a time... Trees are shedding the helicopters and now stems ... hopefully all of this will end by next week so some clean up may be completed...
      Lighting hit out home the early morning hours on Monday and with it took out both our 43 inch plasma television sets and the dish receivers... They have been hauled off to be checked and have paper work on them for insurance purposes... We also lost the chest freezer in our basement.... I am not expecting the Tv situation to be taken care of till next week sometime ... Haven't heard the result of Tvs yet.... and new boxes we are awaiting... Oh it's the patience thing that is not by virtue by any means... We will shop for a new freezer this afternoon.. With all this taking place I have not been really accomplishing  much with any extras around the home leaving me just somewhat frustrated also... I am finding I do not handle this as well as I did at one time... find the rolling with the punches somewhat harder in more than one way....I do know in my heart it will all be taken care of and most likely soon forgotten... My heart is heavy however with the families that have totally lost homes... I honestly don't know where a person would start to rebuilt and know you would have to will your body with faith and hope.... Take a few moments on how really blessed you are today...  right this minute.. and be thankful...

Did you not have a power surge protector on anything?? We have it on everything! So sorry about your loss...

So sorry to hear about the lightening. We don't seem to know the power that lightening has until it does a number on your home or a person. It hit my house years ago and I was lucky because it only took out the garage opener and the modem on my computer so that tells you how long ago that was. No more modems in this day and age.

I hope your tv wasn't fried but time will tell.

Lightening is dangerous, it's power is overwhelming. I hope you sill have your TV. Hugs, Mary
