(OPINION) CBN – Dena Cook from Alabama is confident that God was with her and her family when a violent tornado tore through her neighborhood last Thursday.
According to a report from CBN, the tornado ripped off Cook’s roof from her Birmingham house but a scarf-draped cross was still standing in her yard. The report detailed that Cook and her husband hid inside their closet as the twister passed by their house.
After the tornado came through, the couple went outside to survey the damage. It is then, Cook noticed that the cross was still standing and adorned with its bright purple scarf for Lent.
“It’s still there and my cross is still there because God was with all these people, and us,” Cook said. “This is what God is all about,” Cook said. “Lent is a sorrowful time but then on that Easter Sunday, it will be beautiful all again.”
