Thankful For A Safe Place

 Hey Friends,

Bad weather has been plaguing our land. As I type, we are watching for more storms. We have been praying for many of our friends who have been in the path of the storms! Our county in Ohio is under a tornado watch for several hours over Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

I have been extremely thankful for my 

Daddy’s foresight. When he designed my home, he made my master closet a safe room. It has a concrete ceiling and block walls, so when storms come, I have a safe place to go!

We are prepared to run in there during this bout of storms if needed. We took shelter in the safe room Sunday night. A tornado came through our area. The Lord protected us, and I am so grateful! We did have a dead tree fall behind the barn, but it just laid over!

I have been thinking a lot about the safe place we can run to as a Christians. I remember the scripture that Dad wrote on the walls of my safe room while we are building the house.

These verses have brought comfort to my heart many times. I thought I would share them with you today, I hope they comfort to your heart!

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

“I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91‬:‭1-2‬ ‭

Thank you for reading! I will see you tomorrow!
