“Storms make Oaks take roots” ~ Proverb
Don’t despise the storms.  On the surface it may appear that you have a few limbs broken.  Maybe a few of your leaves have blown off and you barely recognize yourself anymore.
But what you do not see is the transformation that is happening just out of sight.
While all the “apparent” turmoil was taking place above, your roots were below were hard at work – adjusting, strengthening, learning and growing!
Next time a bigger storm comes around… you will be prepared.
It’s going to take a lot more than that to bust your limbs now!
Thank goodness that first one came.  Taught you everything you needed to know. You have now built your inner strength to handle anything.
I LOVE STORMS!
