The silver lining is the most significant part of the dark cloud.
I read this today and it really strikes me as so true!
I mean seriously, how can you consider anything other than that? The clouds also save us from sunburn, windburn (even the Holy Spirit kind) and when we least expect it, they can let open the floodgates and/or like 'I'm a Little Teapot' tip over and pour out a torrent of cleansing. Simply washing over us, we can begin fresh and new...is there anyone who does not like that smell after a good rainfall? The earth seems to be saying...ah, yes, we are quenched and ready for new growth. Sprouting all over, like giggling in the gardens before my eyes....it is a silvery morning here.
Today is a sweet day, I am happy and free. I have peace and joy. I am loved and loving. This marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new life. I have decided it in my mind. I have carved out the path I will go and I have considered the pitfalls in having such a steep...way. But I have credentials, ya know? I am ready not because I have been tested but because I have been fortified.
There are parts of my life where I am striking out on my own now. I do shiver a little in anticipation (used to be fear) but I know better...after the rain, comes the rainbow....after the stormy, the calm. I am switching the blue of my life for the silver...the more significant part, you see.
Clouds in my coffee.
