Day 28 - Umbrellas

I remember in 6th grade getting ready for school on a rainy day.  I had to walk about three blocks to the elementary school.  It was a dreary day and I wasn't thrilled about going to school.  I set out from the house and went down the porch stairs.  There was white ice on the stairs and I slipped, fell down the stairs and my umbrella went flying.  Well that was all I needed to upset me.  I started crying and crying.  My mom, the comforter, was there to help me.  She saw I was ok and tried to encourage me to be strong and go on to school.  It did not seem to help me at the moment.  So in her robe and bath slippers she went out to retrieve the umbrella half way down the walk.  As soon as she hit the stairs, there went Mom falling down the same set of stairs I just fell down.  That did it.  I laughed and laughed.  My mom laughed and laughed.  Mom got the umbrella gave me a hug and off I went to school.  (Careful to not fall down the slippery stairs.)

I am sure you can remember a time when you were upset and your mom or dad could make everything feel better.  A comforter.  Someone to hug you when you were down.  That is exactly what God can do for you, too.  God is our comforter.  He is our Father and he loves us very much.  If you have never felt God's love before He is waiting for you to invite him into your life.  

My friend had just recently read my blog and commented that I sounded so happy.  I can say I am happy knowing I have God living in me.  He is as much a part of me and my life as my husband, father, and mother are.  If you have never experienced this or need some peace in your life,  then ask God to come into your life.  Probably the most familiar passage in the bible is John 3:16.  For God so loved the world, that He gave his only son, and whoever shall believe in him shall have eternal life.


I added some of my songs to my blog.  They are linked to Box.net by their title.  Enjoy!
