Well... ain't that somethin'

   Into each life a life a little rain must fall.  So... carry an umbrella?  You can't always get what you want... but if you try real hard you get what you need?  Wait... what if what you need really isn't what you think you need?  How do you know what it is that you need?  I mean... aside from the basic requirements of life... food, shelter and clothing.  Hmmm... this is some deep thinking for a Tuesday night.  I really don't have anything deep to say other than to comment on how funny it is that when it rains it pours.  Am I feeling sorry for myself?  Why just a touch... yes.  I'm allowed.  However, I haven't forgotten that I am being watched over.  My prayers are heard and, if I let him into my heart, the comforter will give me peace during such stormy weather. I have a saying stenciled on my living room wall to remind me of who I am and what I believe.  It says, "Look toward the sunshine and let the shadows fall behind."  To me the "sunshine" is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  This world is really, really distracting to live in.  It is hard to really focus on what it is that  needs to be done instead of what I NEED.  I am slowly finding out that when I focus on what needs to get done.. what I need gets taken care of.  Wait a second... Am I married?  No. Do I have kids? No.  But do I need that right this second to accomplish the task at hand?  No.  So I guess I just have to remember that and look toward the sunshine so that the shadows truly do "fall behind".
