AN UNEXPECTED GIFT!

When The Storm Passes . . .

The threat of a storm lasted long, but now that the storm is over it seems as though it was quite brief.  How often do we find this to be true?  After it has gone, the beauty in its wake seems brighter than ever before  . . .

Here are some photographs taken after other storms have gone.  It seems there is a message in their beauty.

 

²⁹ He stilled the storm to a whisper;
   the waves of the sea^[a] were hushed.    – Psalm 107:29

SEE THE LIGHT

SUCH repetiton!

The storm predictions haunt me!

What? Sudden Sunshine!

The Storm That Wasn’t

When I Stray

In the night

I gazed at the light streaked sky

before any raindrops even fell  . . .

Already concerned about damaging winds

which never came my way.

HURRICANE AND TORNADO

As we face the peak of hurricane season and, as well, with many of us – MYSELF INCLUDED-  in the path of Florence right now – A LEVEL 4 AND SOON TO BE 5 -, let’s pray  for protection for all!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enlightened

Beauty in a storm

when I do not look in fear

sun peeks through the clouds

 

Glistening raindrops

Quenching the thirsty dry land.

Grace and hope are mine!

DANCING IN THE REIGN

I heard

the applause of many angels

reign down on a dance floor

glowing

with the stars in gentlemen’s eyes

as the ladies danced in satin gowns

and their best diamonds!

No other light was needed.

HE LEADS – I FOLLOW – IT IS GOOD

Thunderous applause

reaches me from above.

Some call it a storm

but I call it joy

Hidden wonders yet to come!
