PASSING THROUGH THE STORM

For the most part, we've all experienced personal issues, circumstances or storms. I am  not an expert or a fancy writer. I would like to offer you some friendly words of encouragement and that is to not give up and to persevere through your storm. The sun will shine in your life and you'll be elevated to a higher positive point in your life.

What do you do when life throws lemons at you? Do you grumble? Do you complain? Do you yell at the world? Do you get frustrated? Do you feel like you have been taken out of your comfort zone and you have to deal with new issues that you've never had to deal with before?  Do you think if you had all the money in the world that life would change for you? Maybe? Do you ever hope that some kind person would come and rescue you out of your storm? Do you imagine what your life will look like after your storm? The answer to these questions will depend on the person passing through their storm.

You can learn to be positive during your storm. You can trust and believe that your storm will pass and you will escape it unscathed.  Do you ever think what your storm is possibly trying to teach you?  Do you really stop and think about what is going on in your life? Maybe you are being led to a higher ground in your life and your storm was sent to strengthen you and prepare you for something big in your life? Maybe your storm was sent to you so that you can develop sympathy and compassion for people? Who knows why we have to go through storms?  A lot of times, storms are sent to make us grown up. Storms happen for a reason and all of us can learn from our personal storms. Storms seem to last a long time when you are the one passing through your storm. 

All storms are different and they have different outcomes.  You never know who you will help after your storm is over? You may receive the chance to offer encouraging words to another person during their storm?  Close your eyes in the midst of your storm and just smile.  We share a gift and that gift is smiling.  Learn to utilize your smile.  Smile at your storm and trust that it will pass. Hopefully, you will develop the gifts of love and patience while passing through your storm.
