As I was awakened this morning by the clap of thunder and rain coming down in buckets, my thought was how blessed I am to witness yet another example of God's grandeur, I saw the lightning, I heard the thunder and the rain coming down and experienced the sweet smell as the storm passed.

The bitter portion, ever so mild, occurred when I made my trek to the bus stop. My neighbor has a bench which I use daily, not today it was soaked by the rain. so I stood my feet and leg were causing me some discomfort. I then realized how often I stop during the day while walking, just to rest my body.

Now I must admit after reading Achandra's blog post this morning, I need to ask was it a disaster or merely an inconvenience? also will it matter 5 years from now?

my discomfort was only an inconvenience, and as I have said those " minor" pains are simply a reminder I'm alive.

the blessing of witnessing god's grandeur far out weighs the minor inconvenience, will it matter five years from now? it doesn't matter now, so why the fuss?

the wisdom and thoughts shared on this site are life sustaining.

bless you all peace, love, joy and prayers,
