the waves of the sea were hushed.
Psalm 107:29
New International Version (NIV)
The recent storm Sandy has been a trying and difficult ordeal for many. Three of my daughters who live in New Jersey with their husbands and my two granddaughters fortunately escaped harm. They're all still young and I suppose this will be another adventure for them to remember in future years. But you can believe than I was praying for them. God is good.
In a few passages of the Bible there is mention that the faithfulness and righteousness of earlier generations will bestow protection and blessings upon the generations that follow. I think my family has experienced that blessing. My father was very close to the Lord and I know he prayed for his children often. There have been many members on both sides of my family who were very Godly Christians and I think that I and my offspring are all reaping the benefits of that faithfulness.
My life has weathered many storms of physical and a spiritual natures. I have always managed to come through them safely--sometimes seemingly miraculously. I give thanks to God first and foremost, but I'm glad that someone in my past was blessing the future. May those blessings continue.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
