Shadow shot Sunday standing in the Shadow

Hey y'all I'm back to posting on Shadow Shot Sunday, click here to check out of SSS pictures,

It has been on again off again rain/sunshine for nearly 2 weeks here in Central Mississippi, We finally got several days of beautiful sunshine and I have been enjoying watching my feathered friends scurrying around looking for food before the next cold front moves in. I spotted this beautiful Blue Jay flying around from branch to branch and then down to the ground searching for something, acorns, bugs, worms...anything to fill his desire for food.. 

And it made me think, how often as humans do we search here and there for something. Something that we think will make us happy, something we desire to fill that empty spot in our lives. Just like this Blue Jay we search in the darkness (of sin) never looking to the light (of our Lord and Savior).

And much like this Blue Jay who stepped into the light and found food, all we need to do is step into the light of God's love and find Jesus who will fill our every need.

Have you stepped into the light, do you feel the warmth and love of God's sunshine around you.

I pray you have a wonderful Sunday and week ahead filled with the warmth of God's love.

Sunday Devotion....Sunshine Suddenly...

I wanted to post a Devotion my Niece wrote this week, she has a Ministry called about the Masters Business

and sends out a daily devotion..called Coffee Break this post really hit home with the way the world is today

"Sunshine Suddenly"

"And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm." Mark 4:39

When I got out of my vehicle to go into the recovery center yesterday, it was raining, the clouds were very grey and it was stormy. An hour later when I started to leave, the rain had stopped, the clouds had rolled away and the sun was shining brightly. How amazing, the day looked totally different than it had only a short while ago. As I noticed the transformation, the thought came to mind that our lives are often like this. We can be in the midst of a "storm" one minute than have "sunshine" the next.

The day itself was a beautiful reminder to me that the storms of life don't last forever. They do come to an end, and they can come "suddenly" like the physical weather changed yesterday. I thought the weather had set in and it was going to be like that all day, but it wasn't. Often when we look at our storms, especially if we have been in them any length of time, we begin to feel as if they will never stop or let up. But I have good news for you-- they don't last forever and they can cease when you least expect it.

The other good news is that Jesus is with you in the storm. More good news- Jesus still speaks to the storms and they have to obey. He still knows how to turn the situation. He can still change storms into sunshine. Don't be discouraged or fearful, don't lose hope or faith there is always sunshine after the storm.

Have a great day. It may be stormy now, but sunshine can come suddenly.
