Good morning,
Yesterday I was talking with my aunt about all of my newfound drama and how I was having a hard time handling it. She was encouraging me and she kept saying, “But I’m preaching to the choir because you know this. You are always telling people this same thing”. I agreed with her but I told her that now that I’m in the hole it’s hard to see the trees. That had me thinking and sparked a desire to write. It’s always easier to encourage someone when you are not in the midst of your own storm. You may even be able to be supportive when your storm is just sprinkling……BUT when you are in a hole and the rain is pouring you are not able to see anything.
So this morning I was speaking with a friend and I was telling him about last night’s conversation and I said, “I’m always describing the trees (encouraging) to people but now that I’m in the hole I’m not able to see the trees and it’s hard to remember what they look like. So now I need the people who care and love me to help me see the trees again”.
In other words, we all have to be reminded not to let the storms of life tear us down because we are GREAT and we have great lives. It’s a moment not a lifetime. I will not let what a few people have done to cause me grief overshadow all of the LOVE that I have received. I will instead wrap myself in their love and know that even though I’m hurting, my tears are pain leaving my body and all this love is waiting to fill me up again.
Let love fill you up.
Thank you again for loving me…….
“Happy in the midst of it all”
