Storms of Life

I've been sitting here watching and listening to a thunderstorm that's been happening for the last hour.....the loud clashes of thunder and the strikes of lightning makes a wonderful display of light and sound......its fantastic.....but not always so.....

As a child I can remember being pertified as a storm came over our house and the rain started pouring through our roof as part of our house blew away.......I will always remember my mum holding me and telling me that everything would be OK....and she wouldn't let anything happen to me......a little hard for a screaming, hysterical child to comprehend..(I was a drama queen even at 5).......but I did feel safe in her arms......

As a Christian we are faced with many "storms" in our lives and often we need our Heavenly Father to just hold us and comfort us......sadly events will happen in our lives that cause us to be fearful or question why things happen......but God loves us and looks after us....He sent His Son to die for you and me....so that we could have that peace and everlasting life.....we are His children and He wants to see us grow in Him.....

So I as sit and watch the storm disappear a beautiful rainbow is happening......a reminder that God loves me.

Have a great Christmas everyone.....as much as I love watching the storms....I really would like it to be a warm Christmas Day.....when was the last time we had a really warm Christmas Day....I can't remember....anyway ENJOY......
