Sunshine~

Isn't it glorious to see the sun today?  I was beginning to despair of ever seeing it again.  It seemed as if the whole world had gone gray forever.   Having had   such a long stretch of rain, made me think of Noah, and how he and his family must have felt on the ark.  Rain for forty days and nights, and then many , many days of waiting for the waters to recede.  The monotony of it all.  The feeding and caring of the animals, and the rocking of the boat.  The tedium.  The fear.  The smell!  Animals of all kinds mooing, calling, chirping.   The worry that perhaps they had done the wrong thing in trusting the Lord after all.  Finally , the leaving of the safety of the ark after so many days.  It must have been scary. Wondering what the earth would look like after such upheaval.  How happy the animals must have been to feel the solid earth under their feet again!  The concern of Noah's family as they worried about what would happen next.  It's human nature after all , to question, what will become of us now? How do we go forward on an earth devoid of all human life, other than our own?   Then the words of God, Never again.  Never again will I cover the earth with water.  I do set my bow in the clouds as a reminder of this promise.  The reassurance Noah had to have felt! It was not all for nothing. God had a plan .  The whole time we were in the ark, and always!  God had a plan!  The same holds true for us today.  God has a plan!
