Rearranging

This morning at about 3:30am, we heard an extremely loud clap of thunder. It sounded like a shotgun right outside our house, magnified by about 1,000. It actually shook our house and everything in it. I jumped as it woke me up, and then immediately said a prayer and asked for us to be protected and that the girls would sleep through the storm. Well, only half of my prayer was answered, because we were of course safe, but the girls were both in our room in less than a minute. They too were awoken by the loud thunder and were scared and quickly crawled into bed with us. Aaron relinquished his side of the bed, told them they could sleep with me, and headed for the couch. As I was trying to comfort them and tell them we would all be fine, I remembered what my mom used to tell me when I was a little girl during thunder storms. I told them, "My mom used to tell me when I was a little girl not to be afraid of the thunder because it is just Heavenly Father rearranging his furniture." I know it sounds silly, but it really did help comfort me. Katie said, "Well he must be moving something big, like his couch!"
