A Summer Afternoon

I am sitting here at the computer and I was trying to find something beautiful to write about. I look out the south window and I see the rain beating hard against the window. I look out  the north window and I see the trees blowing in the wind. I have been trying most of the day to find something beautiful about this June day.

I know how hard it is at times to find something beautiful each day. Again, one of the reasons I started this blog was to help me look for something beautiful each day. I needed it in my life because, being unemployed is hard at times to deal with.

As I look out the south window again, I see the mountain south of our town. It is green up to the summit and a grayish white cloud is hovering over it. And yet there is blue sky and the sun is trying to break through the clouds.

There is definitely beauty outside. It is as if God painted this picture just for me. It isn't a still painting but a moving tapestry constantly changing and still the same. Now the sun has peaked through and the colors have changed to a different hue. The rain has stopped for a few minutes also.

I am thankful that I saw this beautiful picture on what seemed to be a gloomy June day. I hope you can find something beautiful in your life today. Small World Toys Swe 15-Pieces Sand Toy Set Asst

There are times that I enjoy a stormy day, seeing the rain, the dark clouds, seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder, but when the rain and the clouds last for several days and the sun doesn't shine, it is hard to appreciate the beauty in the rainy, cloudy day. Thanks for the reminder of the beauty around us.
