Cheers to your life and your family togetherness.
ReplyDeleteBe always in stitches.
Hello
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog but just wanted to say how sorry I am for the devastation you have suffered.
You and your family will be in my thoughts.
Sheri I wish courage and hope will always fill your hearts in this terrible moment when they are most needed. You and your family are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSheri, my heart is heavy after seeing those pictures. I am so thankful you and your family are safe. My prayers are with you. I hope if I am ever faced with something like this I can be as stong as you are. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! Scary stuff. I'm glad no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for the destruction of your home, but glad to know that your family is safe! No one can imagine how it must feel, but your positive attitude will carry you through - and know that your cyber friends are standing right along with you!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs & prayers being sent your way Sheri. Houses & things can always be replaced in some way. Lives cannot. You are truly blessed that no harm came to you or your family. Hang in there & take it one day at a time.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the loss of your home. Glad that everyone is safe. As you said you can always rebuild. PBS.
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry about your home!!!! It's a blessing that everyone is okay but I can't imagine how traumatic it is to lose home and belongings. Praying you were able to salvage a lot of your things and also that your insurance company is easy to work with!!!! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss and I'm glad you were able to salvage some precious stitching. I'm wondering why many of the homes I saw on the news did not have basements, although the one woman who lost her legs in protecting her children--they WERE all in the basement. I cannot imagine the fury of these tornadoes. I hope you can build with something stronger/maybe a different home design.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you in your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness that you are safe. I'm so sorry for all that you've lost and glad that you were able to salvage some of your stash. I can only imagine how traumatic this whole things has been for you!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to read that you and your family are okay. Keep your spirit high and know you are in my thoughts.

ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at what Mother Nature can throw at us, but more amazed and proud to see just how most of us react to those occasions. You are a prime example to the attitude of perseverence that is being revealed in many areas very close to me. I am sorry for your loss, but impressed with your attitude. I will keep you and your neighbors along with those in Indiana and my Kentucky in my prayers. Good luck to you in your rebuilding!
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you, Sheri. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Glad to hear that at least you and your family were unhurt.

Sheri - Stay strong! My son lives in the area (Blue Eye). He was lucky, only strong winds. Hopefully the rebuilding won't take long and you will be in your home soon! So glad you were able to salvage some of your cross stitching. Hope you were able to get some other keepsake too. Keep the faith. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sheri - I can't fathom going through what you are going through right now. Whenever I need to dig deep for strength, I repeat to myself "all things are possible thru Christ who strengthens me". I think somedays I must repeat it a hundred times. I'll be praying for strength and comfort for you and your family during these difficult times.
