Hopeful

It’s been a make-yourself-look-for-the-rainbow kind of day…and not because of the ants…well not solely because of the ants :)   Storms just come in life and all you can do is hang on tight and keep hoping for that rainbow at the end.  And I keep telling myself that God’s got this mess…nothing surprises Him one bit.  So today I chose to look for the rainbow.  Making the choice for hope is hard sometimes.

We’re blessed…crazy blessed…blessed way more than we ever deserve.  And I am just thankful.  So no matter the storms…even though they are terribly hard and difficult at times…and I want to scream and yell and cry and pitch a fit and maybe say some not very nice words…I’m making a choice to look for the rainbow today instead…to see goodness…and give God all the praise He so rightfully deserves…in good times and in bad.  That’s what I am consciously choosing for today…being hopeful for that rainbow.

Happy Thursday!

    Thank you so much for this…. It has definitely been a week of the most challenging blows for our family…. But truly it is those little things that we do have….and trusting that those things that we do and will need in the very near future will be provided. So thank you again for this.

    Oh the rainbows… I feel like God gives me glimpses of rainbows often enough to keep my hope high and firmly rooted in Him. I’m praying for the whole rainbow that I know God has promised for my family but until then, I’ll be happy with the glimpses! Happy rainbow day!

    thank you for this encouragement. I am also in a stormy season and it is so easy for me to let the negative thoughts roll and tumble around in my head until they saturate my attitude and outlook… and drive me to eat the gallon of ice cream in my freezer :) It is tough today, but God is so, so good and His every gift is a display of His grace and love. Praying for you today!

    You rock for searching for the positivity. Sometimes it’s so hard, but it’s ALWAYS there! Soon, you will have your sweet Ace of Hearts in your arms and this phase will feel like such a distant memory. Keep your head up and keep the pool days coming! Happy weekend!
