Story of the Day
The storm was a rough storm. It was like they say. I was huddled in the basement and then heard that awful sound of a freight train coming. The next thing I knew, my house was gone. Thank God we were all safe, but the house was gone. The next few months, life was rough. It took time for the insurance companies to act. I was like an orphan looking for adoption. No relatives within thousands of miles, I went to the local shelter set up at a church near-by. They took me in and adopted me as their own. I was fed and given a place to sleep, a phone to use and much needed love and care. I was given grace and love that I didn't deserve. I could now see the hand of God in all of this. In the storm was chaos, but out of the chaos was the hand of God. I was adopted as His child and cared for. Sooner than I thought, I came through the chaos to a new home and a new life in His care and love. Now, I was healed and loved and ready to begin a new life and a new ministry with all the gifts and love of God.

Prayer of the Day
Lord, I give You thanks that You hover over the chaos and bring new life. You bring life out of death. You bring forgiveness out of sin. You bring and give a Son to walk with us daily, even through the storms. Lord, I give You thanks. ---Amen
