Sunny Skies and Dark Clouds - At the Same Time

The weather has been so strange this summer. Usually in July the temperature is in the high 80's and 90's with the only rain be late afternoon heat thunderstorms. You can usually go 2 weeks without mowing and you have to water your flowers every other day. Well, the rain hasn't seem to stop this summer. We have had to mow every week and I haven't watered the garden but once or twice the entire summer. The skies have been so strange this past week. Bright sun shine with a single dark cloud in one place. so if you are not looking at that part of the sky you think it is a regular sunny summer day - then you feel a drop of rain and see the dark cloud. It just seems to come from nowhere.

Bright, sunny skies and dark clouds - at the same time. My life seems to be like that now. Bright happy times, good relationships, but then there are these dark clouds - worries about family, friends, and work responsibilities. When skies grow dark may I always look to the light that Jesus brings to our lives. Whether rain or shine - bright skies or dark clouds - Jesus always walks with us through our days. He knows where we have been and where we are going. He has gone ahead to prepare a place for us and now He is walking us home - through sunny skies and dark clouds.
