When the storms come....

We've all watched thunderstorms build in the distant on a hot, summer afternoon. The clouds seem to stretch as high as the eye can see. They become darker and more and more threatening. As the storm approaches the temperature changes and the winds move in stronger and stronger. Lightning flashes and thunder rolls. First comes a light sprinkle and as the storm gets closer and closer, the raindrops get bigger and more frequent. Soon the lightning is on top of us and the rain comes in torrents.
While all of this happens here, God looks at it from a different perspective. His Son still shines! He sees the tunderstorm from the top side where the clouds are white and fluffy. He knows that soon the storm will pass. His Son has never moved...never changed...always right there to bring back the light that we each need for survival, for warmth, for Life.
We all go through storms in our lives....some much darker and more sinister than others. Aren't you thankful that tomorrow brings a new day....aren't you thankful His Son always shines.
