Lessons from the storm

 – that there does reside in people a desire to help those in need, to be our brother’s keeper, so to speak.  It has to do with our consciences, given by our Father and a part of His purpose that we should love one another.  This goes above and beyond our being Americans (although I must confess I am proud to be one) – rather than our independence it reveals our dependence on each other.  For man was not meant to live “alone” but in relationship and community.  I personally believe that starts with our communion with God our Father, through faith in His Son and the working of His Holy Spirit in our hearts and minds.

In the storms in is helpful to remember that the storm won’t last, that He is in the storm with us and has promised to get us through to the other side.
