Storms come and go. We look for them, we read about them, and we use what they give us for our benefit. The same can be said for the storms in our lives. Christ is with us in these storms, we just have to chose to use what He gives, to help us endure.

It’s in the little things that joy abounds. I recently sat down with a friend. We had good food, good conversation and without her knowing it she humbled and convicted me. It was what I needed and it helped me to see that my view needed more joy.

Storms will happen and life is hard. We need to be able to find what we can control and leave the rest to pass just like the storm. Being thankful and grateful for what we do have helps in making this easier
