Rain, rain, rain. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying, I'm tired of the rain and I would love a warm sunny week. This weather is great for the duckies or anything with feathers. Maybe I should try to make a ducky feather outfit. Really tho', I'm not outside in the rain much so I guess that isn't the problem. I'm staying warm and dry, no reason at all to fuss. The lack of sunshine, well it just seems really, really dreary. It's the kind of weather when it is really necessary to turn up the music, loud of course! And an extra cup of coffee with some dove chocolates, well that makes any day just a little bit better! But the sun would be a big bonus!
Do you ever notice that all your problems double in size on a rainy day? It's really hard to find the proper perspective on the hard things in life on a rainy day. It's the day when the cup is only half full, when the thorns are all you notice on the roses and your nerves are tight and its a super bad day to do bookwork or clean a dirty basement.
Its a day when my mind can go a million places at once, I'm a women, I can actually think and work at the same time. No offense guys!
Why does our Great and Mighty God allow so many people to be hurting...
Why are children going to bed hungry every night...
Why are Mommies and daddies dying from cancer
Why are innocent people killed because of wicked peoples bombs
Why are babies left to die alone without love
Why are widoes crying alone at night
Why are young people left to struggle alone through life
Why are there homeless and hungry on our city streets
Why is there so much violence and greed
Why are some mommies crying because their arms are empty and aching
And why are other mommies wishing they had more freedom
Why does a Daddy choose to leave his family crying in the night as he goes off alone
Why do other Daddies cry at night because a child does not come home
Why do good mommies and daddies get sick and die while wicked parents live and continue to beat there families
Why are children getting cancer and suffering long painful deaths
Do you understand a God that allows all this unfairness, and evil and hardship!

What would you fix, change or improve if you had the power to make a difference in some way? I am constantly reminded that I am not here to stay. And I am pretty sure that if everything were just as I wanted it I would never want to leave these dusty streets. And I think God knows that so He keeps us just a little distressed, just a little restless, and lacking all of total happiness, because He has to make us homesick for Heaven somehow. No, I don't understand the plan or the reason for the hard in life but I know He has a plan for you and for me. I know that He is in full control, I know that I am His servant and He tells me what to do, not the other way around. Sometimes in our search for God and happiness we tell Him what we want and we tell him what to do. My God is much bigger then that. He is not swinging on the limbs of a windy tree being tossed around by mere peoples wishes. No, He is a big God that knows the end and best for all things. When I tell him what I want He gets to decide if the answer is yes or no and I can be assured that his answer is best, even when it feels wrong. Isn't it freedom to serve a God like that! Faith does not become angry or demanding, it will always accept his Will as the right plan. It's hard, terribly hard, I will be the first to admit that I wanted a different plan for my life and my children...but God had another plan. Honestly, its still hard for me to really say that His plan is better then mine. I know in my heart that it is better, but it still does not feel better. I can only see through my earthly eyes and I see sons that need their Dad, I see me, that needs his stability and support. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting used to this drastic change, I can function on a decent level, and then other days I have no idea how I will ever be able to keep going without him. I love the words to the following song....
Sometimes He calms the storm with a whispered peace be still
He can settle any sea but it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close as the winds and waves go wild
Sometimes he calms the storm and other times He calms His child.

That is where I find myself over and over. And that is how I can keep going one day after the other. I have no idea how anyone can possibly get through the hard things in life without a Loving Heavenly Father.
We are never going to get away from hurting situations and sad people until we get to Glory. But we can lift the weary hands, comfort the crying heart, and pray for our fallen brother. Words of encouragement, flowers, food and many random acts of kindness are ways that we have been blessed and it means so much and makes dark days a whole light brighter! We are here to urge each other on, life is to hard to fight the battles alone.To walk beside another is truly a real sign of caring. We teach our children to be kind. When they are still toddlers we say, Be kind to your friends". You know what? Kindness is still needed when we grow up!
REAL SIMPLE KINDNESS WILL HELP TO CALM THE STORM....
WHAT WILL YOU DO TODAY FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR?
