Been tinkering on some workshop materials, and my littlest went into my office to work on her own project. I’m really glad she knows how to do good work, even if she left the polishing rags, polish, and wooden blocks all over the floor. I don’t always get to see the evidence that the kids are learning from me, so this is an encouraging sort of mess. #childrenofjoy
Tonight when a tornado was headed our way, we asked the Theotokos and St. Barbara to protect us. As the rotation approached our house, suddenly the screen above our location filled with lightning. The rotation stopped. This is a screen cap of a live radar, so it doesn’t show all of the lightning. It was amazing. Rotation gone, lightning everywhere in its place, but none of it struck. I’m thanking the Theotokos and St. Barbara (patroness of houses and lightning) for their intercession and God for working the wonder. Everyone is asleep again except for me. My arthritis isn’t fond of the weather. Wanted to say thank you before sleep. Who is so great a God as our God? You are the one who does wonders. #gratitude #protectionofthetheotokos #stbarbara
