Happy July 3rd Here I am in sunny Florida and the past two days I have been trying to get on the beach and soak up the rays. Meanwhile a storm has been brewing in the ocean causing much darkness in the sky’s along with some rain. That darkness had started moving in on me as well. Looking back at past days in life when the sun just didnt seem to rise, because of disappointments or just not feeling good about myself or a relationship with someone. When I have felt alone in a situation in my life, whatever the reason, a cloud settles in. This cloud of gloom causes me to not want to be cheered up. That was how it was yesterday, while I laid on the beach under the clouds, my husband would try to cheer me up, but I would grudgingly give him a smirk of a smile and slide back into the pit of despair. We are all effected by different circumstances. For some of us as myself it may only take a cloudy day to bring on the blues. Sometimes its fatigue, or someone spoke critically of us or someone we love, the list is endless. I have found that as a mother & wife my outlook for the day determines how the rest of my familys day goes. If my outlook is sunny, it is reflected in every member of my household. However, clouds of self-pity, gloom and despair that are hovering over me, they to will also rain down on them who are around me. The trouble with darkness is that we are fooled into believing it seems to be stronger and deeper than light. But just one small candle can dispel the darkness in a room, so can the entrance of light into our souls. Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be light to me. (Micah 7:8) The greater light … the light of the Lord … that one little candle His Light ~
