We have been mired in the usual southern winter: dark, gloomy, rainy, cold... It's not unexpected but it still can get to me from time to time. I love the sunshine. I love being able to get outside and enjoy GOD'S creation. We have a three-year-old and a two-year-old who love to be outside. Yet, this time of year, the outside days are few and far between.
Yes, I know it could be worse. We could live where it snows twenty-six feet deep or where it rains constantly or where the temperature is cold enough to freeze your eyes open. Yes, it could be worse. But, don't you love the sunshine? Don't you love when the clouds break and the sun shines through. People can be like those dark clouds too.
Today's word is just a thought I came across that really sums up some of the people that you will encounter from time to time. It says, "Some people are like clouds. When they disappear, it's a brighter day!"
The saying is similar to another that I try to keep in mind that says, "Everyone here brings happiness. Some by entering in; others by leaving." There are some people that will suck the energy and life right out of you or an organization or a congregation, and they live for that. What we need is more people that part the clouds and bring a brighter day and enlighten everyone.
Look, in life there will be those that seem to bring a dark cloud wherever they go. All we can do is hold on and wait for the clouds to disappear. When they do, we get a spring in our step and a smile on our face. Brighter days are ahead.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
