A Break in the Clouds
The weirdest thing happened today. One minute I looked out my office window and it was so dark, gloomy, rainy and nasty out. Ann and I were talking about how dark and yucky it was out and I was tired and thought I might leave work early to go home and sleep. Moments later, the sun came out and the day looked beautiful again. I made it until 5:00
How quickly things can change.
A lot of cliche statements are going through my head...I'm cheezy like that. I just love those glimmers of hope. Especially when they happen right on time. But, of course they do.
I found out tonight that someone in my family was just released from jail. I am praying that he has reached the bottom of the barrel and that he will reach for God and recieve unconditional love that he has longed for all his life. The fact that he made it through to this point alive is a miracle.
Timing is everything...I'm seeing that again and again in the lives of so many people I love. Just today...in relationships, jobs, hearts, moments of need, physical health...I don't get it...why things happen for the good or the bad when they do. But, when that break comes...it is always right on time. We always want it sooner, but when it comes, it is bright and warm and provides exactly what we need to get through the next storm. And oh for the day when the storms are over.
