Tough Times
from Daily Got a Minute Message with John Ed · host DENON
Sometimes huge challenges bring out the best in us. I love those kind of stories. When Hurricane Ian hit Naples, Florida, Johnny Lauder decided to stay at home. When he saw water gushing inside his house, he moved his two sons and one son’s girlfriend to the attic thinking they would all be safe. But then his cell phone rang. His wheelchair-bound mother, Karen, 84 years old, was trapped in a house half a mile away. Johnny climbed out a window and starting wading to rescue her. Her house was filled with 4 feet of water. Lauder pushed his mother to safety and also carried out another elderly neighbor who was also in trouble. Lauder said, “I would have done it for anyone’s mom—or anyone else in that situation.” Often time the toughest times bring out the best in each of us. What will God bring out of you today?
