Cloudy Days are His Hugs!


How do you feel when the clouds roll in? Has it ever occurred to you that it's God's way of giving you a hug? Think about how much slower life seems to get when its cloudy. 
The kids come in and are near. The shadows don't rush you along with projects you're working on. 
Even the food you're cooking takes on a different flavor - richer. 
Out here in the Sandhills, clouds don't roll in frequently. It's somewhat of a rare occurrence. 
Not everyone enjoys them. But today, they were welcomed...it was as if God himself had totally embraced me - and blew me a kiss with the winds that were kicked up!
And the moisture that came was a blessing.

The Valleys of life offer more than we know!

We're led by commercialism to believe that we have to strive for that brass ring, be number one...just do it...and there's nothing wrong for going for your dreams! 
God has given you many of those dreams and desires - to glorify HIM. 
That's why it's so important to remember those in the valley's of life. 
Compassion goes a long way, so does being thankful for what you do, and who you have, in your life right now. Including your own valley!

Jesus Rocks!

How many times a day do you tell Jesus how much HE rocks? You got the parking spot...your shirt was on sale...you remembered to put checks in your check book...mowing wasn't so hard...that difficult conversation went better than planned...you did lose a pound or two...
Have you ever looked up at the heavens - the very stars HE spoke into being, and said, "Jesus, you rock!"? Because, were it not for Jesus, some of those tasks may not have been so pleasant. 
Jesus Rocks in ways we don't even know. 
Let HIM know how much you appreciate HIM and all HE's done for you!

There's been an abundance of rain and flooding....remember Who is in charge! 
Praying all be well with you and yours.

Beauty and compassion


We've all seen better days...some leave us tattered and torn, others uplifted and flying high. This butterfly showcases both to perfection...just like you! 
So, fly high! Enjoy! Understand and have compassion for those who aren't flying quite yet. 
Even if that person is yourself. 
You WILL get to lift-off!
