Yep, I'm home. Six children who depend on me everyday to meet their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs."
It is a hectic life we lead, but in spite of the craziness of it all there are so many joys to be found. It would be very easy to get wrapped up in the craziness and miss out completely on the precious moments that come each day. These precious moments are what keep me going. That, and knowing that my strength and help does not come from me alone, but from the Lord who walks beside me every step of the way.
We are all faced with craziness in our world. Maybe yours doesn't come from six children, maybe it comes from a job that is exceedingly stressful, or a family or work relationship that you have struggled over, maybe a medical condition in which there seems to be no relief in sight. When you take any one of of these things and add grief into the mix it can make for some very "heavy" days.
You are not alone. Others have been and are where you are. No experience is exactly the same, nor the way we deal with it. But, for me, the presence of my Savior keeps me from drowning on those especially difficult days. He was able to walk on water, and rise from the dead. He's certainly able to keep me on solid footing.
Remember, we don't need to start chewing on tomorrow and the next day and the next week, or six months down the road. We just need to focus on today, making the most of it. God was in our yesterday, He is in our today, and He is already working in our tomorrow! Keep your eyes focused on Him, and you will see the
Sunshine After the Storm
