Unshackled Moments ~ June 21, 2018 ~ Staying Dry

Leah  and I went to Longview for her follow up after heart surgery, and as we sat in the exam room, the bottom dropped out of the heavy gray clouds outside. What had been an intermittent light sprinkling on our way to the office became a down pour of large, cold rain drops that quickly turned the parking lot into a shallow lake. We had another stop to make in the building next door before we left, but walking through that rain would not be fun, especially since Leah really needed to keep the compression hose that keep her safe from post-surgery embolisms, dry.

The heart surgeon's receptionist kindly told us the best way to go. There is a back way that isn't obvious from the front of the hospital complex that is covered, although the walk is a little farther. We went that way and stayed dry. The wind blew us, there was some moisture in the air, and there were places where the dry areas of the walkway seriously narrowed. But we stayed dry.and comfortable as we walked together.

Into every life, good and bad, believer and unbeliever, rain will fall. But there is a way to get from where we are to where we need to be that will keep us dry, even in the worst of storms. It isn't the obvious way, and it may not even be visible from the pace of normal travel, but it is there. It is under the shelter of God's wings that we can walk through the storms of life without being drenched. We may get a little damp, may be buffeted by the wind, but we stay safe and dry in His care. So, when the storms of life begin to rage, look for the shelter of God's grace, and if you know where it is and see someone trying to figure out a way of escape, be like the kind receptionist and volunteer directions.
