(An extract from my old journal)
A Day When All Seemed Gloomy
Nature has a subtle way of offering deep wisdom, particularly on the days when carrying on feels heavy. On one such afternoon when defeat seemed to shadow every effort and the persistent question “What’s the point?” weighed on my mind—I stopped to watch the sky. It was locked in a quiet struggle: soft sunlight repeatedly fought to breach a thick wall of dark clouds, only to be swallowed whole the moment later. Even so, that brief, rhythmic dance between light and shadow became a striking metaphor for resilience.
It served as a vivid reminder that life’s hardships and triumphs are constantly shifting. In that moment, I realized true strength doesn’t mean living in constant brightness; it means learning to navigate both the light and the storm with equal grace.
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. (Ecclesiastes 7:14)

Thinking in the Wind
Blow, blow, and away you go, wind,
Lift, lift me high with your flowing spin.
For where you travel, no one knows,
You dance with time, as the tide bows.
You are fast, and sometimes slow,
Blow, blow, away we’ll go.
I’ll sail with you to the unknown,
Wherever you wander, never alone.

As we navigate life’s challenges and uncertainties, there are days when everything feels overwhelming and hope seems distant. On such days, finding solace and strength in the Word of God is essential.
One scripture that brings me comfort and encouragement: “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit” – Psalm 34:18 (KJV). I encourage you to read the entire Psalm. If you don’t have a Bible, a quick online search will help you find one.
Remember that God is near, offering His love and support no matter how dark the day may seem. He will lift us up and guide us through even the most challenging times. Let this verse remind us that we are never alone, and there is always hope and healing in His presence.
May the peace of God keep you strong! 😊
Thanks for reading.💛
