Today my daughter and I went swimming, I know it was not the hottest day of the summer but I love going when no one is there. I could tell you I do not like the fact that kids can bring their toys and their parents do not pay attention to them... but let's be honest. I am insecure...
BUT that is not what this blog is about...Today as I was in the pool I had the biggest revelation ever!My daughter had gotten out of the pool because I was boring (let's just stop right there and think about that, I have been called many things in my life but never boring).Anyway it was just me. It was a pretty cloudy day and if you know me you know I am a cloud gazer, I have always told Christina that I pray God let's me paint the sky just once. As I was looking up at the sky I realized how calm I was... not just me but everything. The wind was calm, there were no waves, no ripples, no screaming kinds, nothing at all, just.... calm... yet as I looked up I seen a huge dark cloud. I stood there in the calm water staring up as this cloud started gathering other clouds into it's darkness, as if each cloud was just floating along and was all of a sudden sucked into this huge darkness. All awhile the sun was shinning as this cloud was right on top of me. I stared as it moved so fast, the smaller clouds had no chance they were sucked right in. It grew so big that is began to cover the other beautiful fluffy clouds. Then it began to surround the sun, even then the sun showed it's beautiful rays down to the earth to show that it was still there, that is until it was gone.I began to realize these clouds are a symbol of us wonderful humans. We can be strolling along having a wonderful day and something or someone will try to suck us into the darkness. How often do we fall right in too...What darkness am I speaking of? It could be many things...Someone cuts us off... That is a big one for me ROAD RAGE!!GossipSpeaking ill of our Brothers and SistersFacebook is a great place to fall into that darkness if someone post something you do not likeThere are so many more BUT YOU are the one in control of YOUR actions, and the little clouds? How often are our children the ones punished for our actions. They are sucked into the drama and chaos just as the little clouds were.It is not easy, it is a hard thing to do especially if you have been doing it your whole life. BUT who wants to live in the darkness?Did I mention the Sun came out shortly after, to remind us that even in the darkness there is always ALWAYS light.
I dedicate this Blog to my Brother and sister in law whom I have spoken ill of and pray that one day they will forgive me.
