There's A Bright Side

Good morning family. Loving this April weather. I think I can finally put my boots away. Thanking God for health and strength this morning. I'm encouraged to go on because there's so much to do. Sometimes we let life overwhelm us because we're not truly prepared for what comes our way. Unexpected illness, layoffs, car troubles, foreclosures, evictions, you name it and somebody is going through it. The blessing of "going through" is the peace that comes after the "storm". Ms Rosie Sims used to lead a song in church, "There's A Bright Side Somewhere". As a child the words didn't mean much, but carrying the memory of her belting out those words has helped me get through many long days and nights. I'm reminded every day of God's grace/mercy on my life. He carries me like a mother carries a baby, refusing to allow me to go without. Understand, I don't have fancy things, my house is old, I shop on the clearance rack and sometimes my paycheck can't hit the bank fast enough but just knowing the Lord makes me feel richer than a billionaire. I pray that we all understand true riches and if you're looking for the "bright side" of a bad situation, get somewhere and be still. Ask God to open your mind/heart so you can receive your healing through His word. It's the greatest feeling to know that even in your darkest hours His light still shines for us.
