Storms

This past weekend we had quite the storm with Hurricane Matthew passing through. 

All day Saturday it was dark , windy and raining.  To me it felt like the day lasted forever.  I'm sure those who lost power or dealt with flooding felt it far worse than I did. 

But then Sunday came.  I woke to see that the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.  The air was cool and refreshing, it felt wonderful.

Life can be a lot like that storm, it can feel a bit like the sun will never shine again and the rain will never end. 

But the good news is, this life is not all there is.  No matter how hard our circumstances, there is better waiting for us.   As the Bible tells us,

4 For since the world began,
    no ear has heard
and no eye has seen a God like you,
    who works for those who wait for him!  Isaiah 64:4 (NLT)

Durning the storm, it's good to remember the sun will shine again.
