Hello, Everyone... Hope you all had a wonderful 4Th of July. I would like to share with you something I wrote from my heart... I hope you enjoy.
The Road in our life's, Sometimes they get bumpy and we hang on to the steering wheel as tight as we can...and we hang on, and we keep hanging on...the road up ahead looks worst than ever, you grip the steering wheel a little tighter...you are praying a little harder...there's no way you can turn around,the sign says one way street! The clouds are darkening, and moving pretty low, there's lighting and claps of thunder moving closer. But,still you're holding steady to the wheel, that is in your hands, and believing at the same time.
Rain is pouring, hail is falling. The view up ahead is gone. Now, doubt and fear has settled in....You have lost control of the wheel... and you're spinning out of control, you're screaming and you're crying. You tell yourself this is it....I will not see another ray of sun light,for this Storm will take me away. Your hands are still hanging on to the steering wheel, Your head is leaning low, You're hanging on for dear life....and doing so with all your might. When all at once, The spinning begins to slow, and the Storm begins to quieten, and you listen closely as it begins to disappear.
You now hear a new sound. Sounds of birds singing. One by one the dark clouds begin to disappear as rays of sun light, brightens into a new day. The road that was once rocky is now smooth and cleared. For these were just a bunch of clay rocks. It took the Storm, that came your way to wash them all away.For you see, sometimes it takes a storm to wash away things that are hard to remove by hand. Sometimes storms makes our road a lot easier to travel.
When we go though a storm. It's always scary,and we never know what might happen. Storms sometimes make a mess of things, and there is always a lot of work to do...rebuilding and reconstructing everything back together, trying hard to get it back to the way it use to be. Getting it back the way it use to be... Is impossible. Storms sometimes make things better than they use to be. Sometimes you will hear people say.. You know we would not have this, if it wasn't for the flood that came our way, or that fire. It will always be the same surroundings, just a whole new out look.
That is the same with us....Sometimes it takes a storm to tear us down, So God can rebuild us into something new and better for our surroundings.
Our surroundings are our friends and families.
