Happy Saturday everyone I hope your Saturday has been a great day thus far. I have to say the last few days have been great here however I could not post because of the storm that passed thru the Western Pa. region yesterday afternoon. We lost power here for 10 hours or so and believe me not being able to post this morning was a bit sad. However storms do come and go and the nice thing about a storm it does pass.
Storms in life never last forever.
Often in life we have trouble shaking a bad event. Maybe the passing of a loved one, or a friend moving away or just a bad piece of news that seems to just put a burden on our shoulders and heart. The storm seems to last and last in our mist.
We can look at the storm in a couple ways.
First we can look at it as an opportunity for us to strengthen our character. Character can be built by tough times. It can only be built upon, if we focus on the possibilities of a path well taken and lessons learned and form an even greater path and journey.
Second we can focus on the good that has happened before the storm to give us strength as we pass through it. The past success we have had, the great memories we have created can be a strong rope that we can pull ourselves through even the toughest of storms.
The choice is really ours. Live with fear and panic, or live with hope and decisiveness. We must choose to be strong. To ride out the storm.
“In our lives there is bound to come some pain, surely as there are storms and falling rain; just believe that the one who holds the storms will bring the sun.”
~ Author Unknown
True there will be storms, and storms can be a cleansing of the spirit.
Storms are sometime necessary to clear out the debris that can build in our lives.
Old branches fall away, new limbs are made stronger by the force of a storm.
Its our path that sometimes needs to be
directed by a strong storm.
The one constant is storms never last.
But a strong character will always remain.
Till next time.........Smile and stay strong
your storm may just be over!
