Moving Clouds and Stinkin Tomatoes!

Lyric has always been a lively child and constantly keeps us amused with her sayings. The past few weeks she has not disappointed. She is always especially talkative while in the car, I guess because she has nothing else to do. We were driving to school Monday morning and Lyric was being unusually quiet. The sky was still dark from the rain that had came through earlier during the night and parts of the clouds were breaking up and you could see the light blue sky coming thru. Lyric all of a sudden said, "Look Mom, the clouds are moving apart so we can see God and where he lives." It totally warmed my heart to hear the awe in her voice and how excited she was to see God.
Yesterday morning we were on our way to school again and Dalton was concerned that he would not get to play outside because of rain. I told him that I did not think that it was going to rain during the day but it was supposed to rain that evening. Lyric proceeded to let us know, "I don't want no stinkin tomatoes tonight. They make me scared and I am not going to go outside" Dalton and I laughed at Lyric calling tornadoes, "tomatoes". Little did we know what the day would bring. We are so blessed that we were not hit by the bad storms that came through the area. I am always a little nervous about storms because growing up we lived in a trailer and when storms came through we would always rush to the cellar. I pray that God will be with all of the families that lost their loved ones and their homes.
