When You See a Storm Is Coming

When the sky begins to rumble, and the clouds are both black and gray. I think it may be God’s signal, and a good time for man to pray. For like when a storm is coming, or it’s just a chaotic day. It’s a sign that things are changing, and a good time for man to pray. Humbly turn to your Creator, you don’t have to know what to say. He wants to love and protect you, he will guide you along the way. Have faith today you’ll make it through, Listen to know what you should do.

Hi Bill, I think that i will copy or fax this Sonnet to me, For when a storm is brewing, maybe God is cross with me, I will therefor keep this in my desk drawer for the attention of me, A reminder of how humbly one should pray to Our Creator, an inspiration you are to me! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you for your kind comments, Len. I know of the rain and storms in Thailand. I spend a year there in 1969-70 at Udorn Air Force Base. It was a lovely country. I got to visit Chang Mai and Bangkok while I was stationed there. Thanks for the FAV. :-) Smiles ~ Blessing, Bill
