Rainy days

Five-year old Abigail has her nose stuck on the window as she watches the rainfall. There had been gray stormy clouds and the rain came after. 

“It’s been raining forever, Teddy” she moaned to her stuffed animal which sat on the windowsill beside her. Actually, it’s been raining for nearly thirty minutes. “I want to play outside but the sun is not coming out”. She pouted

She grabbed her Teddy and turned to leave the room. She saw a bright spot on the floor, stood and wondered for a minute what it was. She followed the light and saw that it was a sun ray peeking out through the cloud. She broke into a smile as the arc of the sun rose just above a gray lump of cloud. She stood and stared as more bright yellow rays broke through the clouds.

“You sneaky sun! You ve been there all along!” She said

How often are we quick to forget that God is always with us even in our dark stormy days, even in our trials.
