Psalms 23:6 – Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Thankful that nothing can separate me from God’s love and favour. Peaceful contentment can only come when we trust the Lord wholeheartedly (Proverbs 3:5), and seek to please Him in all we do (Matthew 6:33).

Matthew 2:1-2
​ Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Thankful that no matter what our station in life we can worship Christ with our whole heart. True worship shows reverence and adoration to God.
Worship is not only a precious gift to God but also helps to adjust our perspectives in life. It can fill our hearts with love, encourage us, and strengthen our faith.

“O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.”

1:25p- Hands and wrists are tingly.  Rt wrist hurts.  Making soup in microwave, hands jerking while getting bowl of soup out.  I dropped bowl and spilt some liquid burning my rt hand on process.

Itchy skin.  Heart rate fast and hard.  Exhausted.  Trying to take care of three sickies while trying to heal yourself is not easy.

4:47p – I’m thankful that I survived being struck by lightning. One day I hope to attend the conference to talk to others who have also survived. 
It’s only been 4.5 months for me. It’s been a tough road, but I have already learned so much. I am thankful for God’s faithfulness and the new friends I’m making along the way. Lamentations 3:22-23

  • The above video link gives a small insight into what it feels to be struck by lightning and some of the aftereffects.
  • It has been very helpful to be part of the lightning support groups that we found on Facebook. I have been able to ask questions of other survivors to find out if symptoms are associated with after effects of a lightning strike and how they handled them. Though no one has all the answers (sometimes no answers at all) it helps to know that someone else understands and gets where you are coming from.
  • If you know of someone who has been struck by lightning or received electric shock injuries, please feel free to refer them to my page, or to https://www.lightning-strike.org/, or to one of the several lightning survivor support groups on Facebook.
