Have you ever had this experience? You drive on the motorway and it pours down with rain from a black sky. It’s quite somber around you although it’s the middle of the day. And suddenly, you drive out into the sunshine and in no time at all, you see nothing but clear blue skies and a bright landscape all around.
This can also happen in our lives. When we are in a dark spot in our lives, we sometimes forget that the brighter skies are just ahead of us. “Wait a minute!”, you might say. Pink Panther couldn’t leave the dark spot behind, the rainy cloud came with him wherever he went.
I think it’s actually a choice we make. We can choose to take the clouds of worry and “what ifs?” with us wherever we go or we can trust in life and enjoy the ride through dark valleys and over sunny hilltops.
