3 Strikes... We're Done?

Everything seems to come in "threes", right?!  Two homes; three different lightning strikes -- OUCH!  Yes, we were struck by lightning on Monday night... for the 3rd time!  The result?  Two holes in the roof, rain leaking through, 2 blown out HVAC units, one fried computer, printer, cable lines, phone lines, and the list goes on.  

The blessing in all of this: we're fine, and no one was hurt.  Our neighbor behind us was not as fortunate.  They lost their home to a fire.  No one was injured, and their pets were safe, but they lost everything.  As quickly as the lightning struck, their memories were engulfed in flames.  

All of this stands as a reminder: life as we know it can change very quickly.  I don't want to take the little blessings in my life for granted.  Every moment is a gift.
