Weathering the Storm

The wind was still blowing like crazy this morning.  At one point, I looked out back, and there was a squirrel sitting on the deck railing.  I guess he had paused in his running back and forth.  For some reason, the squirrels seem to find a need to run from one end of our deck to the other; sometimes with nuts, sometimes I think they're just having fun.  But what amazed me about this little guy was that he was calmly sitting there in such strong winds like it was a calm, pleasant day.  As we've seen in the past couple of days, nature is very powerful and sometimes destructive, but also incredibly resilient.  That little squirrel weathered the storm, and then went about his day today running nuts (or whatever) from one end of our deck to the other.  And ultimately, that's what we do, too - weather the storms.  That's how God made us.  I found Him today in that resilient little squirrel calmly braving the winds.
