We are even going to hang onto our bookshelves--though the insurance co. was writing them off. They are only minimally damaged and I'm very happy not to have to go shopping, and then spend hours assembling everything. <br /><br />But I must say, Joyce Meyer's 'Battlefield of the Mind' has prepared me to face events like this, in that it taught me, I don't have to be at the mercy of my thoughts. I can control what I think. I can choose to be thankful.Violet N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16586574800230604652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-83453013676877290712012-02-13T06:33:26.891-07:002012-02-13T06:33:26.891-07:00oh Violet,

All their boxes were stored in the basement and the water was 2 feet high of sludge. So treasured Christmas ornaments and mementos were lost as well.<br /><br /> Now they pack everything in plastic bins high up on shelves. The water undermined their family room as well - but insurance helped them rebuild a better one. Yes seeing blessings in the midst of adversity - and thanking God through everything.

I also like to reread my own journals periodically because it can be very encouraging to see how god has answered prayer.Tracy Krausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066853243062725525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-49068360784268470542012-02-12T14:03:04.715-07:002012-02-12T14:03:04.715-07:00That is to bad to have water in your home.

Good for you for putting a positive spin on it and realizing that God rules and we don't! Those were wise words that you wrote and yes, sometimes God has us write words just so we can minister to 'ourselves!' Chin up - we know Who is up there! Blessings as you wade through this mess in more ways than one...xGlynishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621548333351709607noreply@blogger.com
