Sunshine and Rain
Yesterday I was driving up the freeway with a dear friend, rockin' out to Demi. As we were nearing the point of the mountain...I had an epiphany. It was rainy, and the storm clouds were rolling in from the west as the sun was setting. But, there was this break in the clouds where rays of sunshine were pouring down, and the cloud was beautifully back-lit. It made me think a lot about how our Father in Heaven is like the sunshine. Even during the stormy times, we can see His hand in all we do--whether through the rays of hope that penetrate the dark storm, or just knowing that he is there, guiding the storm to help us grow the most. So, I am thankful. Thankful that I have a loving Father in Heaven who looks out for me in the stormy trials of this life. Thankful that he sends the storms that will help me grow the most. Thankful that He loves me just for being me. Amen.

I am glad you have your epiphanies in a place different than I do ;)
ReplyDeleteIt sometimes takes a storm to see the sunshine, doesn't it? I think I appreciate the storms more - it means He trusts me and loves me ;) Most people think that's what the sunshine means, but I beg to differ!
I have one thing to say...I was the friend you were rocking out to Demi with. In fact, I even know when you had your epiphany. I think that means it was both of our epiphanies...in a way...
