Today and for the next several evenings, I thought I would talk to you about different types of storms and apply them to the storms in your life. In every storm, the Zephyr holds us steady, provides comfort, encourages, and softens the blow of the wildest gale. Tonight, let us consider the:

Showers of Disappointment
These are the little things that crop up in our lives. They are the rain that spoils the picnic, the storm that cancels the game, the lightning that ends the swim and the thunder that stops the parade. When everyone runs inside because graduation is rained out and only 1/3 of your family can attend. When you were counting on that outdoor garden wedding and the clouds burst all over your beautiful day. This is the stuff disappointments are made of. We will all endure them as they are a part of life. At these times we must acknowledge them, accept them, and eventually anticipate them to find the greater good. Often, the end result is finer than any prospect we could have anticipated.
The showers of disappointment can transform into showers of blessing.
