Hurricane Gonzalo swept through Anguilla a few weeks ago downing power lines and trees. There is now very little evidence that we had a storm. Communities, Businesses and Government worked together and did a fabulous job of restoring and repairing the island. Kudos to Anglec and other service providers who worked tirelessly to restore electricity, cable and Internet to the island.

Since then, Anguilla has received lots of rain and a couple of thunder storms. One thunder clap truly startled me out of my sleep.

Nature then is both majestic and beautiful and sometimes scary too! I love the way though that the earth renews after a storm. God’s glory is always apparent. Trees which I thought were gone forever are coming back and the grass….we cut it, it rains, it grows back…you get the idea.

These beautiful yellow rain flowers remind me that beauty often comes after the storm. Nature is beauty and beauty is nature.
