Thunder & Lightning- very, very frightening: a Note from Hope

Well…. last night was rough. I think it thundered all night long. And of course I barked when it thundered. And jumped off the bed to look out the window. And then jumped back up on the bed. And that made Dad not get to sleep.

I do NOT like thunder and lightning – I don’t know why. But I don’t. I already told you how scary it is. I’m always afraid it’s going to get me, or Mom or Dad. I don’t understand why they don’t get up and run around like me. Scout doesn’t even care- she just lays on the bed and snores… silly dog.

Mom says I have anxiety. I don’t know what that is, but it is NOT fun. I know Jesus is watching out for us, but I still get scared – after all, I’m the big sister, and I’m supposed to take care of everybody.

This is the Bible verse Dad says we need to memorize.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5-7
