After the Storm

 

This is a postcard featuring the Scotch Collie.  This wonderful dog is a favorite of the Scottish shepherd. When the moorlands are covered with deep snow, the brave collie is sent out to discover buried sheep and their lambs.  When the dog finds them, he barks to alert the shepherd and his assistants.

God bless those who are, or who soon will be digging out of the monster snow storm in the Eastern United States.

In the Thick of the Storm

 

With the severe storms thrashing New England and  the East Coast of America, this postcard touched a chord in my heart. 

Young Myrtle writes to her Uncle Charley, "We have had several blizzards like this one or worse.  The register was 52 below zero for one week.  On the first and second - February it was 42 below zero.  On the 6 of February we had a Chinook."

Our hearts and prayers are with all of you caught in the snowstorm.   I've heard this one is a record breaker for you folks.

Prayers in the Storm

This lovely old postcard is the opposite of what people along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States are experiencing as I type this.  Our hearts and prayers go out to those caught in the swath of that immense storm.  My prayer for each of you is that you will experience God's peace in the midst of the storm--like the peace reflected in this picture.

It is calm here on the West Coast--we watch these events unfolding over the television.  What a frightening storm. Our hearts are with you, our prayers surround you...
