Storm

On Tuesday we had a terrible thunder storm. I have wondered what that term meant, but no more. They say we had 3500+ lightning strikes with the accompanying thunder. This sent my dog over the edge of emotional stability . He was a mess, shaking, unable to eat( his favorite thing in life), trying to hide and make it go away, all to no avail.
I finally got him to sit at my feet while I petted him and talked softly telling him I was right there and nothing was going to hurt him. As I was doing that I could hear God remind me of all the times he had done that for me, gentled me in crisis.
Sometimes He calms the storm and sometime He calms his child. Like Buddy, I need both. How about you?
