Good morning…it’s a great day…
Even on this cloudy morning I feel truly alive. I stepped outside this morning and took in a deep breath enjoying the early morning fragrance. How great to start your day filling up on His goodness.
So many times we have used the expression …"When it rains, it pours." We normally state this when negative circumstances keep coming at us.
From time to time stumbling blocks keep popping up and we have to choose if we will step over them, making them stepping stones, or we will be stopped by them.
If we look at each issue as a problem instead of an opportunity then we will be stopped in our tracks wondering what to do next.
I have noticed that if we allow our negative circumstances to dictate our thoughts then we cannot think clearly. We need to unload that burden and take a deep breath of gratitude for being alive and slowly embrace what opportunities may come from our situations.
Too many times we go off in a rage without considering what might come next. We may even bring on more “stumbling blocks” just by our actions.
I have learned to slow down, take a look at the big overall picture and cast my burdens on the One who can carry all things; then I rest.
When we live by the negative “when it rains, it pours,” we are opening up ourselves to just that…more of the same.
Let’s shift to raining out good things….true gifts of gladness, love, compassion, acceptance, joy and service. These are the gifts that should “reign” down…let them flow to overflowing. It shall rain and pour buckets of gladness all over you.
I’m suggesting buckets of gladness for today and of course your umbrella. Be well, be happy, and most of all be generous because you will make a difference. Nancy
