Friends' Adventure
Jun 11, 2008 | 6:24 AM PST
Found out on Sunday that one of our families from church had an adventure on Saturday due to the rain and floods. She and her husband went to the hospital in Columbus where she had their 8th child. She arrived safely at 8 lbs. Then the dad got a call from their other children who were at home (the oldest two are 14 and 16) and they were concerned because the flood waters were coming into their garage. So Henry left to get the other children out of the house. But he couldn't get there because of roads shut down. When he tried to go back to the hospital, they had shut the roads behind him, so he couldn't go to either part of his families. After calling friends, some went to rescue the children at the house and a friend took his wife and new baby to their house and Henry was able to get to his wife and baby. The family was able to be reunited that evening. What an adventure! The Lord was truly watching and keeping all safe! At least Annalyse's birthday won't be hard to forget!

Thank God they were safe! That flooding is bad. That's very similar to what happened with the floods of Tropical Storm Allison. I was on the road, and my husband had to get to my kids. Fortunately he drove a big ole Ford f250 and just went around the barricades. He and my brother went back a few hours later and had to walk a mile in hip boots to get to the house. I was crying about my cat and wanted them to check on her. But really, there was medicine that they had to go get. |

The Lord has ways of working things out for the good of His children. It amazes me to see how He works it all out, even when we think all is at a loss. Were they able to get the medicine and was your cat alright? |
