Thunder and Lightning

Last night we had an absolutely beautiful thunder and lightning storm...several big streaks, lots and lots of flashes and loud thunder. It smelled so good as we sat and watched from the family room (with all the windows open). The rain was the "good" kind, big fat drops falling hard and fast. What a show! One we don't often have in Oregon so I think we appreciate it even more. I know I was sad when it was over. The poor dog, though, was a 100 pound quivering mass so I think she was relieved when it was done! Definitely not her favorite thing.

For some reason I can so see God in thunder storms...His Power and His Beauty. The fact that HE is in control, not us. It's a reminder to me that we as human beings are not in charge of this universe we live in as much as we would like to think we are. It's definitely something I need to remember.

I love thunderstorms too. :) I think it fantastic that God created them. Seriously. So cool. There is something satisfyingly refreshing about watching and feeling them.

But poor Gracie. I don't think she agrees...
