At last the rains came if only for 30 minutes. Afterwards the mists rose as sighs of relief from the mountain valleys. How often do we not feel a thing until tis gone? The lack of rain and incessant sunshine reminds us that too much of a good thing is bad.
In the ups and downs of life, how can we fully appreciate the joyous moments without having experienced the sorrow? Drought is like that; be it a drought of joy or a drought of sorrow. Once the drought breaks we find relief.
Those mists remind me that all of life needs a balance ... that too much materialism jades us; that too much celebration fattens us; that constant company leaves us unable to pray; that too much solitude inures us to the plight of our neighbor. Let us pray for balance in all aspects of our spiritual life.
That's me away then.

I could not agree more with your posts! We lament the trials and hard times but how could we enjoy and appreciate the wonderful times God gives without these trials?
