Hurricane season is winding down as we near the end of September. I’ve weathered many hurricanes and lately it seems I’ve been through many personal storms. A lot of you have, too. You can do all the prep work the National Weather Service tells you to do but nothing prepares you for the severity of the really big storms. The ones that cause catastrophic damage. Nothing prepares you for the disruptions that the big storms in life cause you either. Somehow, you just have to figure out how to get through them both.
One thing to keep in mind is to always look for the rainbow at the end of a storm. It’s not always there in plain sight; sometimes you have to really search for it. A promise from God in Genesis Chapter 9, Verses 12-16 says that a rainbow will appear to remind us of God’s covenant between us and Him. It’s a promise I cling to in times of trouble.
The next tropical storm may blow our way this week. You might get a phone call about a health event you weren’t prepared for or someone might break your heart. They are all possibilities but don’t forget we have a promise from someone who never breaks a promise. Look for the rainbow.
Blessings, Cindy J
