beauty in the rain..

I woke up this morning 

with my heart as  heavy

as the clouds 

that were pouring their tears upon us.

 I see changes coming.

Coming as quickly as the weather  

that changes from 

bright and cheery

to 

dark and dreary.

As any self-respecting, middle-aged ,mid-life crisis hormonal homeschooling mama would do,

I left my girl doing algebra 

and 

 I went outside to play.

I sought to find beauty in the rain.

Out on the porch, down the road, and into the alfalfa field

I went.

And do you know what?

I found it.

I found the beauty.

I just had to look for it.

 Find rest, O my soul, 

in God alone; 

my hope comes from Him.  

He alone is my rock and my salvation; 

He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.  

My salvation and my honor depend on God; 

He is my mighty rock, my refuge.  

Trust in Him at all times, 

O people; pour out your hearts to Him,

for God is our refuge.

Psalm 62

Where are you looking for beauty today?
