The Bright Side

I had another post I was going to write tonight...a much funnier one....but I have to say I was knocked back tonight after getting off the phone with my mom. After just getting out of the hospital yesterday following her 4th surgery in 2 months....she is going back into the hospital for an ultrasound to check for a possible blood clot in her leg...

This morning, I found out my great uncle (brother of my lovely grandmother) had a heart attack while driving and was life flighted to a hospital in Milwaukee...

Sometimes in life when it rains...

it just pours,

and that rain turns into a monsoon,

 and those monsoons turn into monster floods...

I have to say tonight that I am getting tired of all the rain falling....

I think I am going to have to build an ark if it keeps up...

Sometimes I wonder if anyone is listening to my prayers...do those prayers make any difference at all???

 Then, I look at my kids and realize that even thinking that is the silliest thing which has ever crossed my brain.  I'll tell you what, Jeremy is the result of years and years of prayers. And, Elizabeth, well, there's no other way to explain her but an absolute honest- to -goodness miracle.

I also remind myself that things will happen on the path of life which are hard and scary and downright terrifying, but without those things, we would never really truly appreciate or know what the "good" felt like when it happened...

So, tonight, I'll say my prayers again and know that sometime, somewhere, the sun will come out through the rain clouds to reveal the "bright side"....because I know there has to be one.:)
