I am so thankful today for the safety and well-being of my daughter who is away at college. She safely waited out the storm last night as a tornado ripped through the middle of the campus at the school she attends.
Fortunately it was only structures that were damaged and no one was killed in this particular tornado but there are areas all around that are mourning the loss of life this morning.
"Thank you Lord Jesus for covering my daughter with your loving arms of protection. While I love her dearly I know that you love her even more. And while I know that I can not be there throughout all of the storms she endures in her life, I know that you will never leave her.
I pray today God that you will surround those who are grieving with angels of mercy and that they will feel your very real presence comforting them. Give them the strength that comes only from your grace as they press on in the days ahead."
I also pray that you have many reasons to be thankful today and every day. To see more of what other's are praising God for visit Iris at Sting My Heart.

Praising God for the safety of your daughter and joining in prayer for the ones who so desperately need to be covered in prayer.
I am saying a prayer to thank God for covering your daughter with his protection right away. I am glad to hear she is okay. That must of been one heck of an experience. I pray these tornadoes calm down soon. Its seems like this is going to be a rough summer for some weather wise.
Praise God for His divine protection for sure! We had tornados in Indiana last week and a very close town connected to ours (an hour away) was devastated. Last I heard Columbus Indiana was still under flood waters. The hospital there is supposed to be closed for three months! It is very scarey when these things hit so close to home, huh?
Four were killed in our tornado. Seems there's no where safe...tornados, storms, hurricanes...except for we are safe in HIS arms!! Amen.
I'm so thankful your daughter was safe!
Happy Thankful Thursday!
Amen to that!
Oh Kelley....YES Praise God she was protect!! Protect your mind and heart by only dwelling on His goodness in this!!

Is that picture really from the storm that went through her school? Because it is freaky.

You already know what/who I'm thanking the Lord for today :o) We went out for dinner to celebrate my son's 16th b'day and now both he and his Dad are "playing with his new toys".
Have a great evening,
Love & prayers,

Oh, Kelley - I am so glad to read that your daughter is okay...that photo looks so devastating. Was that from your daughter's campus?
I have heard about the boys who lost their life in Iowa at the boy-scout camp. Just horrible. I am standing with you in agreement - may our Lord give the grieving people a peace that surpasses all human understanding.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this week.
Be blessed today and always...
