Night Light

"As the murky depths envelop her, so shall its darkness caress her soul."
--Kimbers--

The sun has just set. You knew as dusk set in that midnight was coming. Midnight is the darkest time. It's when the shadows are at their biggest, noises are heard the most or when silence rings loudest. It was under a full moon that Jesus prayed alone in the garden knowing his biggest trial was at hand. He knew midnight, his death was approaching. Now, we may not be approaching death in the literal sense but how often does a small piece of us die each time we deal with trauma? When our children are in pain and we can't do anything about it? When we know they face surgery yet nothing to stop it? Justified or not, the fear, worry, sadness, insomnia, constant battles, etc. we face? If not dealt with, we eventually die inside. Dying spirituality and or emotionally is often more prolonged and painful then a physical death.


Darkness, Midnight, Storms, Hell, whatever many call it, we know it as times in life where life isn't "good". Most would just rather avoid any of that and keep life to sunshine and roses. Those are good, very good. Yet do we learn in those times? Often not the lessons that teach us strength, faith and humility....

Besides, without night, would we see the moonlight or the stars as much? See how bright the moon is in the pic among the tree branches?

No matter how dark the night is, when the light is visible, it shines the brightest. Ever see the stars during the day? No. It's only at night. Look for the smallest glimmer of light in the night. Yes I rhymed. lol Seriously, find the Light within you and you will shine, even in the worst of times. (May I remember that too...)
The sun did rise and so did Jesus on that first Easter morning. The dawn will come for you as well. In the meantime, when it's midnight, look for the moon and the stars. Those glimmers of light are better seen the darker it is. The next time midnight and our the storm barrels at me, I will hopefully remember the words shared here. It's coming.....

We may feel like a single grain of sand inside this giant planet but each grain of sand put together, can make something beautiful out of glass when melted together.

My storm today: Didn't find what I wanted to for my son. I'll have to buy online what the speech therapist suggested...
My rainbow: Time with my family.

Blessings!
