It’s been a while since my last writing. There has been so much going on in this world, and my mind, I found it better to keep it all to myself. There is too much chatter going on. However, today I had a desire to write….something. So here it goes!!

As I sit in my chair, in by bedroom, looking out my window I see big fluffy clouds. Ones that draw me in….cause me to pause and sit a while. My Dad loved clouds. I remember Mom commenting on how many yards of tape…yes tape, not video recording, but actual movie taping, Dad used on clouds. I didn’t understand his fascination with clouds until I got older. As a kid I would lay on the ground, look up, to see what shapes/images I saw in those clouds. These clouds streaming through the sky today are those kind of clouds. This takes me to thinking, when is the last time I looked up, not down, not out, not around…but UP!! By the way I love the Disney movie “Up” (squirrel, gotta see the movie to get this).

As I watch these fluffy clouds glide across the sky, so peacefully, I think of the many reasons there are clouds….a sign of a big storm heading my way, a place of peace and calm, a setting for a beautiful sunset, maybe not a cloud in the sky at all….Hmmmm!!

All clouds have to do is float….maybe congregate at times to cause a little down pour, or a massively big down pour….ultimate goal to water the land. Maybe a little more than we…the humans, want. Then the clouds part and out comes the sun, moon, stars, sky. Oh how I take so much for granted. The Lord has taught me a lot in looking at these clouds but I must sit quietly and listen.

Lord Your ways are not my ways, Your thoughts are not my thoughts, Your purpose is the bigger picture. Keep me at a place of remembering who truly is in control!! Look up and see the massiveness of God’s universe.
