Tomorrow….
is on my mind, as I
listen to my dear friends sing ‘Yesterday’. You see, I have big plans for
tomorrow – both work and personal, but many are warning that God may have
something different in store for us – it’s called the weather.
As I ponder the
weather, and how just the mere mention of something other than a sunny day can
bring panic and grief to many, I realize that it is reflective of our lives.
We long for the
perfect day and the carefree life
One in which the sun
rises at the beginning of a long wonderful day - take your time
One with no rain - no
worries
One filled with blues skies
and fluffy white clouds - imagining the possibilities
One with a gentle
breeze - lovingly caressing our soul
One with the perfect sunset
- reflections of a day well spent
One with a dark sky
sprinkled with the moon and stars - a glimpse into tomorrow as the moon
reflects off our eyes…
And when the day is
less than perfect…
Rain sends us running
for our umbrellas – protection from our troubles
Reports of impending
weather – send us into panic mode to make last minute preparations
Storms of either snow,
rain or ice – incapacitates many minds and actions as we wait for it to pass
before peeking our head out of the door of life.
It began to sprinkle as
I pulled up to the church parking lot the day after myDarlin’ went to join God’s
House Band. I reached over for my trusty umbrella, then paused as I heard
myDarlin’ say, ‘It’s only water Sheri, it’s only water.’ I laid it back down,
and as I closed the car door felt the drops of water, God’s love and grace,
falling on my body and knew that I was going to be OK.
Today I am grateful
for God’s love as it rains on my life and that of my Ohana. I look to the sky
and am reminded of myDarlin’s wonderful outlook on life as he danced in the
rain and slid in the snow.
