'Weathering the Storms'
Copyright © 2005 Hanne Andersen
Where I live we had an incredible burst of winter weather.
It was full-out with strong winds, lots of snow and freezing temperatures. Then came the pounding rains and high winds. Over just a few days I believe they said we received over 165cm of the wet stuff!
When I went out this morning it was mild, the rain had washed away all the snow and it was green again. We had weathered through THAT storm.
I happened to glance down and caught a glimpse of something
amazing. Throughout that crazy storm there was my miniature
rose bush .... with a bud on it ready to burst open in bloom! As fierce as the storm was, it's determination to bloom was just as fierce.
Then there was this 'ah ha' moment. Very much like that
determined little rose, we can weather the storms in our lives.
We have to believe that 'this too shall pass'. As fierce as they may be, strong like the winds and pounding hard as the rains. Storms don't last forever.
When we believe in our own strengths and keep our determination fierce, we CAN weather the storms. Believe in yourself and know that your can weather the storms that pass by in your life. Like the little rose bud, we can bloom again.
