This mega storm really opened my eyes to Jesus’ passion and the ongoing passion in my own everyday life.<br /><br />While huddled in the tornado shelter along with my coworkers, I wondered if my home still standing, if family/friends were ok, if my dog was ok! Was everybody and everything safe? Was it possible I could be "stripped" of all of my material possessions or my loved ones with the touch down of tornado? The "Divine Mercy Chaplet" was playing on the Catholic Radio station as I drove home in blinding rain and hail! (Divine providence!!) Tears of fear trickled down my face. Yet, I knew in my heart everything was going to be ok. I knew many people would lose the roofs off their homes or experience hail damage to their vehicles. However, people would survive. Blessed be to God I didn't hear of any deaths or serious injuries. <br /> <br />I have to be diligent and prepared for what God throws in my life! I may not live through the next tornado that hits. I have to be loving and accepting of others unconditionally. I cannot be like Judas, denying that I won’t be responsible; this or that won’t happen to me. Holy Week is a wonderful time to reflect and ponder the meaning of Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection in our lives. <br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />-JenniferJennifer B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15338737502809429613noreply@blogger.com
