Praising God in the midst of so many storms!

Dear Friends,

This is more a reflection on how God is working in our lives since April. Dealing with a car accident, my first major in 20 years (if you don't count the deer that took my driver's side mirror.) Then, points on my license, 3 for a stop sign, yielding violation! Ahh!
Then, just after our car was returned to us, the following day, a power surge from PECO's lines caused a house fire, damaging our dryer, most things that were hooked up, a book shelf and about 24 books in Chantel's room, some lamps, a radio/cd player, etc.
Other than smoke damage and things which can be replaced, we praise God that none of us were hurt and that God is continuing to provide for each of our needs.
This experience is in no way easy, or recommended. :-)
Currently, we are living in our 2nd home in 2 weeks, not ours. First, with Ralph's mom, brother Philip, and Matthew at times. 2nd, with friends from Church, the Kooker's, who offered us their home immediately and without reservation! Praise God for friends.
Also, our church family and S.S. class is helping us financially, as well as Chantel's school. It as been a rough year, a rough two weeks, and yet, so much to be thankful for! GOD IS IN CONTROL- PRAISE HIM!
