If you have ever driven in the mountains on a cool autumn morning, then you know what fog is. Today I just drove right into a of fog. I quickly slowed down and my headlights. Seeing the road ahead was a . I felt as if I had been transported into a shadow world. Everywhere I looked was only dark grayness. Even the trees lining the road had become frightening, me of some frightening stories. I drove on and on through the waves of dark and wondered if it would end.
After a while, though, the sun broke through the fog and the world was transformed. The golden light beams the landscape. The red and yellow leaves shone on the . The river along the road shone in the sunshine. Everything seemed full of and joy again. I smiled and drove, singing a song in my heart. I thanked God for both the sunshine and the , because he reminded me again of just how this world can be. In our lives the fog can roll in sometimes too. Things can go . Problems can appear.
Difficulties, pains and troubles can seem to us and block out all the light in our life.
When this happens and the world seems in gray, we need to remember that we can break through the fog. We can the shadows away with love. We can transform the world with our joy. We also can light a way through the dark for others to follow. God is willing to our souls with his love and light. All he asks is that we share their shine. May all of your foggy days be then. May your soul shine brightly. And may you forever struggle to live in God’s light.
