Shining in the Storms!

 (I did take this pic as well jsyk...)

With all of these storms here lately coming through and going here and there, I thought I
would put a poem I wrote as a reminder of how God kept us safe even during the
"Hurricane/Tornado" that passed through our area I think it was last year on May 8th.
Trees were down everywhere and it's truly a miracle that nothing bad happened to
our family or anything that we own. God is so faithful and He protects and comforts
us even when we are scared or when bad things happen! He's a good Father like that!
Well, here is the poem I wrote.

Shining

The sun is shining in the center of my tree.
I gaze, I stare, I see what I see.
It’s not likely, it’s not normal, it’s not lovely to the human eye.
I gaze, I stare, I see-God’s glory shining from thee.
I look behind the rubble of the storm, and see the beauty that comes from within.
I gaze, I stare, I see- God’s glory shining from thee.

I don’t see what others see, I look beyond the mess and see God is God and he takes care of me.

I am God’s child, I am under his wings,
I gaze, I stare, I see-God’s glory shining from thee

When I wrote this poem I was at my desk and thinking about how terrible it looked outside 
but saw how the sun was shining in the center of a tree in our yard. It was so beautiful after 
the storm! I was writing to God sort of saying and talking about His faithfulness and 
goodness in our lives. Even during the hard times in life, we can still be safe and trust Him 
because the Son IS shining! He is always there! Things will be okay with God. We have 
hope, even in the storms! :)
