You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country

Stien –

Happy Easter. These pictures were taken under the dark clouds of the last few months. One is in a city, large, sprawling, utilitarian, ugly. The other is in the countryside, near the top of a cliff overlooking the Giant’s Causeway. Both days before the rainbow appeared had been hard, under a cloud not only made by the weather. Then the rainbow. God’s promise. The dark of the day made the rainbow glow seem even brighter. The same promise was visible in the city as the country. It did not matter what the surroundings were. The same God was giving hope, protection and reminding us there is more. A theme I keep seeing. He had not changed.

And the same problem still existed in me. I have to write about hope, because I forget that he gives blessing, because I have needed light in the darkness. I am empty without that light. Butwhen I focus on him… the light fills me. Fills me with hope, and I have needed it. I have needed the rainbows. But… I know God uses the dark days and I am learning to look for the light. I’ve been in dark days before, but the clouds lift and the light shines, because the sun never stops shining, it is just hidden by clouds. In the light there is so much unexpected beauty. And out of the darkness of the cave, the light rose.

Happy Easter to you all. He is risen.
