The Clouds Appear...and there is blessing still

The day (and last few weeks for me) started and proceeded with overcast clouds that failed to produce the anticipated rain during the day, but as night fell....SURPRISE...a wonderful thunderstorm poured forth from the sky bringing joy, life, and encouragement!

You may be walking through a rough patch, with bad news, pain, heartbreak or betrayal swirling about you, but know that there is One who will never leave you nor forsake you...who is closer than a brother....and knows every hair upon your head. And as suddenly as the strike of lightening and boom of thunder, you are made aware that you are loved. You are surprised by love and joy that only He can supply.

So be that sweet note of friendship, the unexpected favorite beverage, the kind word of encouragement to those around you today! God bless you greatly!

  1. I have found that by focusing on helping and comforting other people youe own troubles seem to diminish. Being a great friend to someone also means you are a great friend to your self. In order to love and respect others you need to respsect and love youself first. Giving a bit of your love, a bit of your strength to others lifts everybody to a higher and wonderful plane of existence called happiness!!
