INSPIRASUNS

I’m headed out this morning to one of my happy places, the water. Fishing pole in hand, I’m hoping to get back into the groove of doing this like I used to. Most weekends, you could find me fishing someplace, and now that I can be on the water, well, I’ve got no excuses.

I’ve been checking the forecast for the past few days, and today it’s scheduled to be mostly cloudy, and maybe some rain here or there. Dare I even mention the accuracy of said forecast? Nah, we’ll leave that for another time 🙂 .

As I sat on the lanai this morning chatting with Father, I was enjoying the quiet. I’ve mentioned here before how I love Saturday mornings and talking with Father as our little lake wakes up. Birds chirping, wildlife wandering on the bank. The water was so still this morning that I could see the fish moving. All of this, while, yes, it’s cloudy but not in a bad way. It’s not those dark clouds, just some hazy overcastness. To be honest, that will make for better fishing.

I was thinking about the clouds and how fishing would be better, and it led me to think about how the Lord is always with us. Even when the sun isn’t shining, He’s there. Sometimes, we are even closer to Him when those clouds are present.

There is a calmness today that is hard to explain. Maybe it’s because I don’t feel the rush to get out on the water before everyone else to enjoy the sun. I’m ok with the overcast day, and the thought of just being with Father in His beauty.

Friends, just remember that even on the cloudiest of days, Jesus is with us. On those cloudy days, or in those dark times, lean into Him more, knowing that He will bring you to light again.

Have a good day, and thank you so much for the prayers for my brother, they are working 🙂 .

Matthew 26:64
Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
