Weather Report

 

“Cloudy skies and chance of rain.  High wind advisory.  Frost likely in the morning.”

 

What do we do when we hear this report? 

 

A. Put on a jacket, tie down the patio furniture, and cover outdoor plants. 

B. Get out a swim suit, plan an outdoor picnic, and paint the fence. 

C. Shake a fist at God, whine and complain, eat, drink, get depressed.

 

Obviously, we normally do “A” and adjust to the weather without much stress or anxiety. 

 

Well, what about this “weather report:”

 

“Health issues and chance of financial struggles.  Increased demands at work.  Car problems likely in the morning.”

 

What would you do if you heard this report?

 

A.  Get enough sleep.  Follow a budget.  Take a walk during your lunch break.  Ask for help.  Be thankful.

B.  Go shopping.  Argue with your boss.  Kick your car’s tires.

C.  Shake your fist at God, whine and complain, eat, drink, get depressed.

 

Unfortunately, when life is challenging, we tend to lose our faith, lose our hope, lose sleep, eat sugar, drink coffee and alcohol.  We totally forget that the sun always come out eventually!

 

Life, like the weather, is constantly changing: there are warm, sunny days and there are cloudy, cold, dark ones. 

 

Maybe you are in a “storm” right now, or maybe the sun is shining in your life.  Whatever your situation, know that it will change, like the weather.  You can flow along with it or fight it.  Your choice.
