A Great Day in spite of Clouds

When you get up and look out the window and all you see is a gray sky, rain in the horizon...what do you do? Do you praise God for the rain coming? Or do you complain about it? Well, why not just be thankful for another day and make it the best you know how. After all no amount of complain is going to change the forecast. But we can change the way we go about our day. Let's start by making it bright with our smile! A good attitude can change every thing about you and around you.  We are so used to complain all the time, we don't take the time to think what we can do to make our day better. 

Slugs Need Moisture...

Our little friends the slugs, they love when the clouds are rolling in, and the rain is on it's way! Yes, they need the moisture that comes with it, but have you ever seen a slug complain when its too hot? nope, you haven't because they make the best of their time going deep into the dirt where they can find the moisture they need...why not learn from out little friends and go into God's word and spend some time with our Heavenly Father, and ask him to give us a heart of thankfulness in spite our circumstances.  It is when we stop looking inward and we look around us that we can see so many of our friends hurting. Let's pray for them and be available to lend a helping hand when the time rises. Let's practice what Jesus said in Matthew 25:35-40 "For I was hungry and you game me something to eat, I was thirsty and you game me something to drink, I was stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you cam to visit me."(NIV)

So....Next time you get up and all you can see is a cloudy sky...

Make yourself a cup of tea and have a great day in spite of clouds!
