SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDER

Hi All,

 

It's funny.  Every time I think Spring is here to stay, we get a cold snap.  Today there's a fire in the fireplace, and I've even gone so far as to turn my portable heater on in here to make things more comfortable.  The temperatures were in the upper thirties last night, and are only going to warm up gradually over the next few days.

 

I didn't begin this entry with the intention of providing you a western North Carolina weather report.  Rather, I want to use the weather as a metaphor for our lives.  Sometimes, things seem rather cold and bleak.  Sometimes, we can't seem to find a positive, no matter how hard we look for one.  The trick, when this happens, is to know that life runs in cycles, just as the year has it's seasons.  Warmth, love and happiness will return to brighten our lives and our days once again.  In the interim, we must simply open our hearts, and allow God's love to radiate through us, healing our hurts and comforting our souls.  It reminds me of that John Denver song that says, "Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy."  We must always remember, even in the hardest times when our hearts feel cold, that the sun will not stay hidden behind the clouds forever.  God and our angels are always eager to share their love with us.  One of my guides is fond of telling me, "Even if you can't seem to find a blessing anywhere, it doesn't mean they aren't there."  Remember those words in your own times of difficulty, and know that the sun will shine again!

 

Have a sunshiny day,

Kim
