Celebrate the Small Things: Bombs!

This week I've been greatly distracted. I'm thankful for the writing time I've had this week. Almost every quiet moment I've had, has been spent in prayer. 

Tuesday, while I was working on a scene in Killer Atilettos, thunder boomers and lightning surrounded my neighborhood. While I was experiencing this my daughter, No-No and her husband, Ya'akov, we're running to their safe room, while sirens were sounded and rockets were being fired into Israel.

They live in Bene A'yish. It's tucked between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Yesterday morning, No-No watched eight rockets shoot over her neighborhood. The Iron Dome intercepted each one.

So today, I celebrate my daughter and son-in-laws safety. I also celebrate that God is with them and all of Israel and all the innocent, this includes the Palestinians. They are Hamas's puppets.

Thank You, Lord of Hosts! I thank you that You are Israel's Protector and Fortress! I thank You that you are their Deliverer and that You are an Almighty God!

Hugs and chocolate, all!
Shelly

      Thank you, Alex. I've been praying a lot. It does work. While these rockets were passing over her, I was wide awake praying not knowing this was happening. It was in the middle of the night in America when it was daytime in Israel. God woke me up. I know He did.

      Gary:

      Thank you. Maybe we should throw all the world leaders into a wrestling ring and let them all duke it out.

    What a terrible mess, and it seems to be growing messier and more terrible by the day. May you and your family be safe. May the innocents be spared.
