Earth Quakes, Nerves Shake

Sometime after 2 pm eastern time this afternoon I was taking a minute to surf the cable channels on the TV and I  happened upon the unfolding stories of the Virginia Earthquake.   I was taken aback, as most people probably were, to hear this happened  in Virginia.  After my initial shock my thoughts immediately leaped to my family and friends in Virginia,North Carolina,D.C., New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York .  After saying a prayer that everyone was OK,  I attempted to call my relatives in Virginia........"sorry all lines are busy, please try your call again later"....OMG WHAT!!!??   I am sure this happened to everyone who has anyone they care about in the vicinity of the earthquake. It is only human  to react this way.   I tried to keep telling myself "stay positive and have faith that the Lord will watch over all our loved ones. I kept calling as I received messages from other family members asking if I heard there was an earthquake.  Finally after two hours I got through to a nephew.  It was a relief to hear everyone was safe.  I am sure this played over and over in every state by many families today.  Hopefully everyone who made the calls got quick answers to their calls and all loved ones were safe and sound.  It was a blessing that no one lost their lives in the earthquake, as far as we know.  When things like this happen it always makes you think about all the blessings in your life and that we should truly be grateful for all we have.  As the days progress and the whole story of how the earthquake affected all I pray that everyone will keep themselves as positive as possible.  We can't let loss of property and possessions keep us from looking forward, building anew and smiling at one another.  Let us be hopeful,  have faith and be inspired to help one another through this time! Have a positively blessed day!
