Hope Emerging From the Rubble

Devastation turned to joy when searchers heard a muffled sound and found a tiny, frightened boy beneath the rubble on the ground. He lay, unhurt, surrounded by the storm's debris and clinging to a blanket. He began to cry, as did the entire rescue crew. Still holding to that blanket, he was lifted from the ruins while nearby his grieving family, though lying injured, soon would smile. Like trinkets, trees and home were tossed throughout the town, but on that day of miracles, no lives were lost. They'll rise, rebuild, rejoice, and pray.
