Even the clouds are there for a purpose

I love feeling the breeze on my face. Even the faintest whisper of one calls out His name. =)

This morning hubby and I were walking back from breakfast when we noticed the sky was a cloudless azure canvas and it was beautiful.

By noon, the clouds started rolling lazily in but they've helped to shade us from the white hot heat of midday.

Sometimes in life, the clouds that we feel block the sunlight and the sky from our sights serve a purpose. But it takes hindsight to appreciate them.

Sometimes people wonder "Why not this?" OR "Why not now?". It seems for that moment as if God is not allowing what we hope for to happen- and our skies fill up with clouds. However when you take a deep breath and look back, you might just see how sometimes the LORD doesn't allow certain things to happen, not to tease you or make life difficult for you, but it is because that cloudless sky you wanted might be the bringer of a drought or a heatstroke. The clouds are there for a purpose. They are not there to block your view, they are there to shelter you from the heat.

Everything and everyone has a season. The tides have their ebb and flow. The sun rises and sets. The flowers bloom, wilt, become pods and bring new life. If we will just quiet our hearts, we too will come to understand what our season is and to learn to rejoice with each step the amazing journey we have ahead of us. I choose to grow. You? =)
