Good Morning!
"Where
did all the blue skies go? Oil wasted on the ocean, fish full of mercury, Ah
things ain’t what they use to be."
The world has changed so much during our lifetime. It's a sad sight to
see. The skies are grey and the waters are polluted. It's also a stark reminder of how careless we
have become with our environment and how much we need to change if we want to
see blue skies again.
Life
can be difficult and filled with sorrow, but it is important to remember that
you will endure. Just as a flower needs both the sun and the rain to grow, so
too do we need both the good and the bad in our lives. It is wonderful that
even though they are opposites, they are both essential to our growth. With
this in mind, you can be sure that even in the toughest of times, you will be
able to make it through because God's word reminds us of that. He said that he
is our refuge and that He would never leave us nor forsake us.
“Over
and over you can be sure there will be sorrow but you will endure. Where
there's a flower there's the sun and the rain Oh and its wonderful there both
one in the same.“
Throughout
our existence we are confronted with good and bad situations and it is up to us
to decide how to handle them. Marvin Gaye and Frankie Beverly have poetically
enlightened us of life’s balances through song, reminding us that we can’t have
good without bad or joy without pain.
God
also made it clear through Solomon in Ecclesiastes 7:14, that no matter what
comes to pass in life, we should be happy during the good times as well as the
bad. It is up to us to choose how we want to deal with the situations we are
confronted with, and it is important to remember that we can always look to
music and scripture for guidance.
