Music Lift Despair in Kentucky

 

The news from tornado-ravaged southwest Kentucky was seemingly never-ending horrific.

But there was a reminder of the resilience and optimism of America’s spirit among the storm’s rubble.

Alongside his demolished home, a farmer (judging from his overalls) was seated at his piano which, incredibly, had been pushed out of the house by the wind and was in one piece.  He was playing hymns!

He and his community will survive.

“Merry” had a different meaning for the farmer this Christmas but, for Christians, eternal joy remains on the horizon.
