No shortage of power

I know this post should have been put up yesterday, but if you read on you'll find out why it wasn't. We had a power cut that knocked out our water pump in the process.
However there was no shortage of power yesterday afternoon, quite the opposite.
What started out as a normal rain shower turned into a major storm. You could see sheets of of water traveling across the yard & the wind was blowing at a high speed with lightning crashing very close by. Then came the hail, that was awesome. Our yard almost looked like a winter wonder land. Something you'll never see here in the tropics.
I love watching storms, I get the greatest thrill just standing there feeling the wind against my face, of course this time I reluctantly stayed on the porch to watch the down pour. However I did get hit by some hail when the wind changed & started blowing hail on to our covered porch. The best part was watching how thrilled the kids were watching the storm, from a safer distance than I of course. We had just had the Bible story about how God defeated an entire army by a hail storm, note the hail stones in the Bible story were bigger than what we saw but none the less it was thrilling for the kids to see what hail really was. It made their story come to life.
Now you can see why we had no electric power but nothing could have been better than witnessing that storm.
