The happy, crazy, full of prayers kind of day

The happy, crazy, full of prayers kind of day

Where to start that seems to be the question on my mind right now. I've went through so many stages of emotions within the last 24 hours that it has been kind of nuts. First let me elaborate on the first string of emotions:

Panic-

of, relating to, or resembling the mental or emotional state <panic fear>

OK so I walk into my dinning room mind you it's completely empty since we haven't got our household goods sent to us yet. I went to pick up one towel off the floor and I found maggots under it ahhh. I asked myself are you serious? I mean really I swear I have the cleanest house in the neighborhood. For goodness sake I even scrub the tiles with a toothbrush. I have no food setting out and no boxes in my cupboards. It was all just in that one little area. Makes no sense thought they needed a food source to thrive. I'm not scared of bugs but I am scared of ones that infest houses. I don't like sharing my living space.

Exhausted-

to deprive of a valuable quality or constituent

I spent ALL night re-scrubbing my all ready perfectly clean floors and cleaning my bare house just for and giggles.

Restraint-

the checking of one's true feelings and impulses when dealing with others

My darling son woke me up at 0630am by slapping me on the face...enough said.

bitch-

something that is extremely difficult, objectionable, or unpleasant

^^^^^--------That was me all day long

But there was one thing that mellowed myself and my family out and that's when loved ones are in serious danger. The house gets sadder and sadder as we wait to see what destruction Hurricane Gustov will bring. My In-laws live in Biloxi, MS where they had barely survived Katrina. They were given an evacuation order but once again my mother-in-law cannot leave because she is an RN at a major hospital and is needed. She is a true testimate to loving dedication. Today my husband was told that they gave her a wrist band that was more less like a dog tag just in case she didn't make it. This is when it really hit us hard. We as a family are truly scared. How many chances of surviving do you get before you run out? They know and it's radiated towards us that this could really be it. My MIL told her hubby to leave and go while he can but I know that he would never leave the love of his life for anything so he's decided to stay at there dream home on the beach with Saddie the dog. It's so heart breaking and yet at times like this we can feel how close our family really is. How blessed are we. Please pray for them and if you don't believe in God then please believe that the love they have can get them through anything.

PRAYER FOR SAFETY IN HURRICANE SEASON
O God, Master of this passing world,hear the humble voices of your children.The Sea of Galilee obeyed Your order and returned to its former quietude.You are still the Master of the land and sea.We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control:the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant,can awake from its seeming lethargy,overstep its conventional boundaries,invade our land, and spread chaos and disaster.
During this hurricane season we turn to You,O loving Father.Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with passing time.
O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our beloved Mother,we ask you to plead with your Son on our behalf,so that spared from calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude,we walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a stormless eternity awaits us. Amen.
