Here in North Florida, we've come into the rainy season again and this year is starting out like the past one, only a little earlier. Heavy rain is falling, then it lets up for a while and then pours again. The sky remains darkly overcast, which adds a gloomy pall over the area.
All who live in the area hope that it's not an indication of a repeat of 2017. Last year was a monster of a rain year, breaking many records with heavy rain nearly daily from June through August, topped off with a direct hit from Hurricane Irma, dropping another ten to fifteen inches of water. No one wants a repeat but, the fact is, we have no control over that. So, don't dwell on the things that may never happen but on the things that we can do something about.
Now today being a Monday, a day that some call "Blue," it would be very easy to allow ourselves to sink into gloom in weather like this. But what is the good of that? And how does it help you through your work and day? Well, it doesn't, so I want to offer a better solution. Open your heart and let the Holy Spirit shine within you. It's a beautiful world, as beautiful as we care to make it, and it's in our power to do so by remembering the love and grace that gave us life to live. It's no fun going around moping, whining and frowning and, besides, it puts us in a framework where others really don't want to be around us.
So, cheer up, put a smile on your face and let the Spirit shine through us to everyone we come in contact with. A cheerful heart and a kind soul is a winner wherever you go. Get that furrow off your brow before it seals its place forever and live like it is a perfect day, for we only go around once in this life. If we live it like we love it, everyone we come in contact will be positively impacted by the "vibes" w project and it will brighten their day as well. Our day will be more productive and time will just fly by. And just think, another exciting weekend will come and we'll enjoy it even more after completing a positive week.
The Spirit is alive and it lives within us. Bring it alive in life and watch a new countenance envelop us and all that we do. Have a great day out there.
