When the swirling snow of change is flying all around us we tend to be fearful perhaps. That’s only natural since the unknown can be frightening, especially if it changes our settled life somewhat.

In such circumstances, I tend to look back. Look back and remember that He was always with me in the storms I faced in the past; and I pray that He is with me now facing this current one.

Thank you Father for today’s post. I found it very helpful.

God bless.

Thanks Anne, appreciate your feedback as always. I do think its a good perspective but its not an easy reality. When we read “Naaman was angry”, I am sure there was a lot more behind the scenes that we have to use our imaginations about. The swirling snow can take a long time to settle depending on the severity of the crisis; whether its mundane or earth shattering. But it helps to know that when it all settles out there is not just the possibility that things will be ok but even that things will be better. If we look for those possibilities we will have a better chance at finding them.

Excellent! I was sitting in Mass this morning and I really felt convicted that I am like Naaman, especially regarding the situation I have written about on my blog with our youth minister. It’s time for me to let the snow settle down and accept the fact that my pride was keeping me from accepting the changes that the youth minister wanted to make. Love your perspective!
