Our house did fine although we stayed at our church building for an extra 15 minutes. We were getting ready to leave about 4:45 (our congregation is meeting 1:30-4:30 PM right now) and we noticed the black sky. The clouds were low and you could see dangling fingers and swirly rotation within. We went back into the building after we had loaded the kids in the car. No sooner than we got back into the building - the Thunder cracked BIG TIME. We watched the black clouds and listened to the thunder for about 10 minutes then the rain came - buckets and buckets with pea sized hail. The hail only lasted about 5 minutes - we ran to the car in the rain, but not pouring buckets, and drove home. There was a lot of water on the road but the rain got less and less as we got closer to home. My brother in law said they got diverted because Newport Rd in Lititz was closed due to downed power lines. They live just off Oak Street.
So scary but no major damage. Thank Heavens. The cutest story - as we drove home MacGregor asked if we could say a prayer. We asked him to say it. Shortly there after Ainsley said - Can God make the bad weather stop? Then MacGregor piped up saying - "We just said a prayer Ainsley, so I'm sure He's already working on it." Now that's FAITH!
Hope you are well.

Oh Britt...I love, love, love that story! Kids are amazing sometimes. So powerful, and they don't even know it.
We were on the way home from church in all the hail and downpours. Ryan didn't want to chance us getting stuck at church and not able to get home. All the kids were sobbing...saying they didn't want to die in the car. Alex offered up our prayer asking that we would get home safely. He asked Ryan what the chance of Heavenly Father changing the weather was and Ryan told him anything was possible. It reminded me a lot of your story. I love kids faith!!!
Wow-
I am glad that you are all safe. It makes me so happy that your kids can feel safe after saying a prayer. Does that make sense?... I love you all and this story too.
I am so glad you guys were okay in body as well as spirits. We are so blessed!
I Love Mac! Did it bring back fond OK memories? Glad all was well.
