I believe in tears and sighs
I heard this from a friend: She had read somewhere that God collects our tears and he values them. It stayed in my head. Last night, in the twilight hours of that blissful reprieve called sleep, that comforting thought turned into vivid imagery. In the pregnant blackness of space I saw human sighs and tears deposited in a plain container. Invisible hands then gently tipped the container into space. Lo and behold! Stars floated out! Is that what happens to our expressions of grief and despair. Do they turn into radiant guiding lights in our lives? Was this the Supreme One’s ways of letting me know that no sorrow comes into our life aimlessly?
Yes, truly! Look around you. There's always sunshine after rain, a silver lining behind every dark cloud and more!

I believe in nature
Whoever discovered the power of nature be blessed. After the grueling pace of city life, a breather at home was very welcome. And what a breather! Rain every single day that I was home. The refreshing cool winds, the welcome sounds of thunder, the brilliant flashes of lightening and the sound of rain healed my parched soul like no other balm could have. Thank you God for rain!

I believe in hope
We’ve all heard how hope keeps man alive. And, how true. In an absolutely hopeless situation, I asked God for a ray of hope. And what did I get, a rain shower! Badly needed for a thirsting earth and this despairing soul. There it was! My miracle, my silver lining. And now I know, no matter how impossible the situation, the ray of light captured in my soul will not die. For the keeper of our souls is above situations and circumstances. Thank you, God, for hope.

I believe in sharing
Have you ever pondered on the power of sharing? I remember an old saying that said something to the effect of “share your joys and they multiply; share your sorrows and they get lighter.” And as each day goes by I’ve discovered that it is just so true. However, it follows no designated path. Share misery and you reap some more. Share happiness and you carry a ray of sunshine everywhere you go. Share special moments and you set the stage for more. I call it the magic of sharing. Thank you all who’ve shared with me!
