Blessings

Earthquakes.  Hurricanes.  Protests.  Nuclear launches.  What are we to think of all this?  I know I stopped watching the news long ago, but when Hurricane Irma was headed to Florida's coast, I had to turn it on.  I had far too many friends living there.

Lately, the song "Blessings" by Laura Story has been playing.  It was my "go to" song during my divorce.  I shed many a tear to it.  I think about all the people left behind by the death and devastation.  Many people cry out and say, "Where is God?" during all of this.

Truth be told, I believe he is right there; holding the hands of those left behind.  Many argue,  "He can't be found."  I completely disagree.  Think about the world events just before all of this.  Arguing, name-calling, hate.

Then, something happened.  A storm.  People came out to help others.  Stories of help began to take over the news.  In spite of all the death and destruction, there was a light in the darkness.  Hope.  Love. Healing.  A chance to start over.

I believe God is speaking to us.  He does it daily but this is our wake-up call.  It is time to start focusing on the positive.  It is time to love others -- even those who don't "fit the mold".  God created us in His image.  We are ALL his masterpiece.

Love.  Give.  Help.  Pray.

I hope this gives you a sense of Hope. Healing. Encouragement.

Go out and be reminded that you too can be a blessing.
