[Faith-talk] When a Storm became a Blessing

[Debbie]

While listening to a favorite cd of mine, I heard the song Till the Storm PassesBy, which I've sung many times in various churches.  I thought back to midApril, when one of the worst tornados we've ever had came through.  It destroyed many houses on this block, to say nothing of trailer parks nearby.  I had to eat out or have friends stop by with food for the next ten days during the power outage.  During that time, a fellow from one of the local churches stopped by with a brochure about an up-coming block party.  At first, I thought "Oh brother, loud music and beer!"  Wrong!  They had snow cones, puppet shows, hot dogs, etc. and great Christian music.  Because of their outreach, I found a church I love with people I am glad to call my brothers and sisters in Christ.  God truly does answer prayer in mysterious ways!

Sorry for the long post, but enjoy the song below from Vestal Goodman rendering the verse, Till the Storm Passes By.
