I finished tiling my next area of garden, got the onions bundled, ginger dug, bell peppers picked, and left for town. I met a friend tro deliver the bellpeppers and then went to Weir to check the mail. I got a phone call and had to go to WilliamsonCounty Recycle Center (www.mytexashhw.com) and meet the gentleman who had recertified our Purple K fire extinguisher. As I left there I noticed the clouds beginning to slowly form. I went to the Monument Market to deliver onions and ginger, then to the bank, and on to HEB. As I was at the checkout counter in HEB they announced no more carry outs due to the lightening. I am at this point preaying I get home quick enough to get Skip (our male dog) in before it starts to rain. I dodge the lightening on the way to the car and was very thankful to get the groceries in the car and safely begin my journey home. About half way home I get a text from my brother in law letting me know he has put Skip in the warehouse and closed the chickens up. By this time it is really getting dark and there is quiet a lightening display annnnnnnnnnd then the rain and hail begin. I decide to park in the garage, get the groceries in, and then come back for Skip. By the time I got there it was pouring so on to plan B which is get only the perishable groceries, Skip and make a mad dash to the back door. By the time I get to the back door I am soaked, the door is locked, the wind is blowing, it is cold and I cannot find my keys. I finally put the groceries down and told Skip to go to the front door. Surely it is open. As we run I am trying to find the keys just in case. Skip runs around the house up the steps then back down to see where I am. I finally find the keys so I can unlock the door which IS locked. I was so cold and wet by this time that the only thing I really is interested in is getting a towel to dry on and get out of my wet clothes. This was a wakeup call as to how much of a wimp I am because by
now I was shaking and so cold I could hardly function. I finally was able to get the groceries off the back porch and get them put up along with lighting a couple of candles just in case the electricity went out. It is things like this
that really make me realize how much God protects me. Let me count the ways:
1) lightening did not hit me
2) Skip was not in the rain
3) hail did not damage my car
4) I found my key before I lost control
5) the storm was not as bad as predicted
6) the garden got a good rain
Yes, God is Good, He is Good all the time!
