We are sad to lose this spreading old oak, which gave us beauty and shade. We are filled with praise, too. No one was crushed beneath the enormous tree. No significant property damage resulted: one fence rail was broken. Part of our neighbor’s rotted deck, which he was preparing to demolish, came down.
The Lord was watching over many of us yesterday.
6 When you pray, go into a room alone and close the door. Pray to your Father in private. He knows what is done in private, and He will reward you. 7 When you pray, don’t talk on and on as people do who don’t know God. They think God likes to hear long prayers. 8 Don’t be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask.
Matthew 6:6-8 (CEV)
Sheila, that gives me such chills. I too, am amazed that such a large tree could really have done so little damage. Praise God you are all safe! Thanks for sharing this–very cool!

Kelly,
thanks for your kind words. Praise Him, indeed! Gratitude has been a theme here for me lately.
