Tornado

The term 'Tornado' must be new to many as it was for me until few months back. Recently we moved to nebraska which is supposed to be in the tornado belt.
A warning is usually given 10-15 minutes before the tornado attack. The first time i heard the siren go, i just peeped outside to take a look. The sight that i saw is unforgettable. Though the tornado was 8-10 miles away from our place, i could see the effect. The sky was totally dark(black) and i mean it 'totally'.
The actual tornado is like a tube of wind starting from the clouds and its other end reaching the ground. The wind is sure to affect everything in its surrounding.
During the recent tornado attact in our place, so many houses were destroyed. We had to rush to the basement storm shelter to be safe. Many trees fell on houses and people lost their houses. The roofs were blown away.
The day after the tornado, interview was taken of all the tornado affected people. One lady who had lost her house in the tornado was bold enough to praise God for saving her life. The guts of the lady really touched me. Is it possible for us to praise God in difficult times???? Praising God during happy times is easier. But what about times when everythings go wrong???
i want to encourage each one to praise God for everything...

We have to thank God for his protection at all times.When kevin had a water burn God protected his face and body.We realized it later.

Think about the immense suffering that Mr. Job went through. In one day he lost his 7 children, lot of cattle & sheep, house and servants. Yet he did not say "Why ?". He simply said "Who" - pointing at his great God who was in control of everything He allowed to happen. He also said let the name of that God be glorified. What a strong faith ?
