I offer my prayers this morning for those who are facing the after effects of the flooding. Some people lost their lives and their families are now faced with a storm of sorrow. Others lost things. They are faced with a storm of questions and the trials of restoration. So many people in their own place of struggle this morning. I pray for you all.
As the sun rose this morning I pray that in some way God will fill your heart with hope. That it will shine through your tears making rainbow rays that break through the shadows and break forth into the brilliance of the Love God has for you in the midst of your trial. I pray that as a new day dawns you will find some beauty. And there will be some. God never leaves us completely without hope. For in the end he is our hope.
As I sit here this morning with blue skies smiling on me. I am aware that the skies are not blue everywhere. My skies have not always been blue, yours will not always be either. But day will break again, you will smile again, rainbow sunrises will come, joy will warm the cold shadow places, the singing of birds will come.
So as I begin this leg of my journey. I will grab the joy where I can find it. Last night it was sitting in my living room talking with my youngest son. This morning it was seeing the sun rise on a new day. Today I am starting a new job. I read a book one time called, "Splashes of Joy in the cesspool of life" Sometimes that is all we get. Little splashes of joy. We have to grab them where we can.
As I share my thoughts, poems and bible verses with you on this blog, I hope it blesses you. I hope when you happen across it you are able to grab a little splash of joy, a smidge of hope, a life lesson that will help you somewhere on your own journey.
For today, I pray Gods blessings pour down on you wherever you are on your journey.
