CLOUDS

THE NEWS TODAY CAN BE LIKE DARK CLOUDS THAT HOVER OVER MY DAY.   

EVERYDAY MORE DEATHS FROM THIS ( SO FAR) UNSTOPPABLE VIRUS.  EVERYDAY WE ARE APART FROM THOSE WE LOVE OUTSIDE OF OUR OWN HOUSE.  AND EVERYDAY ANOTHER BUSINESS CLOSES, ANOTHER PERSON GRIEVES.

  SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE THE CLOUDS HAVE WEIGHT AS THEY PRESS DOWN ON MY SHOULDERS. AND SOMETIMES I CAN’T SEE CLEARLY BECAUSE MY EYES ARE CLOUDED OVER FROM TEARS AND WORRY.

MT. 6:22-23  ” IF YOUR EYES ARE GOOD YOUR WHOLE BODY WILL BE FULL OF LIGHT. IF THOUGH THE LIGHT WITHIN YOU IS DARKNESS HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS !”

AND THEN I REMEMBER TO LOOK UP.   CLOUDS CAN BE BEAUTIFUL. 

THEY SOMETIMES BRING HEALING RAIN FOR OUR CROPS.  TODAY THEY SIFT DOWN A SOFT QUILT OF SNOW OVER MY TOWN.   

WHAT I TRY TO REMEMBER IS THAT ABOVE THE CLOUDS THE LIGHT NEVER STOPS SHINING.   IT IS ALWAYS THERE EVEN WHEN WE CAN’T SEE IT.

THIS IS SUPPOSE IS FAITH.  THAT THERE IS BEAUTY IN THE CLOUDS THEMSELVES AND THERE IS ALSO HOPE THAT THE CLOUDS WILL SOON DISAPPEAR WHEN IT IS TIME FOR THE SUN TO MAKE ITS PRESENCE KNOWN. 

I’M GOING TO LOOK FOR THAT BEAUTY TODAY.
