The skies are really grey overhead today. The f” word has been spoken by the weather people that’s flurries” by the way. The day is dreary and cold with a biting wind. A fire in the fireplace would be nice tonight. I think it will freeze tonight it only made it up to about 7 oC here today.
On days like today, the weather seems to reflect my mood as well. I seem to need the exposure to sunlight as much as a plant otherwise I tend to sink into a mild depression – an experience common enough to be recognized as a general problem today at school by one of my teenagers.
And it has been a day of feeling a certain distance from God. I know that weather is a stupid reason to feel far from God but that is the way it was today. I had to tell myself that in spite of the clouds and my own depressed mood, God is no less by my side today. He is my ever present, unchanging Father.
Psalm 145: 17 to 19
The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
he is filled with kindness.
The Lord is close to all who call on him,
yes, to all who call on him sincerely.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cries for help and rescues
them.
