Clouds are good

I have always been obsessed with the sky, whether a sunny day with fun-shaped clouds, a beautiful sunrise and sunset, or the night sky with a gorgeous moon and millions of stars (my favorite). It often has a calming quality. Some days the sky is gray and full of dreary clouds. Such that it is hard to see past to the blue, like tonight.
This evening after work I sat outside on my back porch and stared upward. It was so gray and so dreary. But then there was another element that got involved. It was amazing how quickly the wind carried the clouds along. There were always more gray clouds, but there wasn't a complete lack of blue sky. Little peeks came and went, here and there, large and small. No matter how full the night sky was of dark clouds the picture was still there in bits and pieces; though I could never see it all at once.
Hmmm! Are you thinking what I'm thinking? :) it's life, puzzle pieces, foggy glasses, and... clouds!

I am thankful for God's amazing creation and especially the sky. It encouraged me tonight!! It means so much to me and God still speaks so clearly even on a dark stormy night!

It's interesting how we are several states away, yet your post could have easily been mine tonight. I too LOVE the sky in all its different forms. Tonight, the sky was exceptionally beautiful (after the storm) and I even saw a rainbow. It's awesome how God's creation points us to Him and reminds us of His goodness and faithfulness to us throughout all the changes in our lives.

Hooray Esther Blogged! The boys and I are studying Astronomy this year and it is so true that there is a lot to learn from and about our Father from the heavens.
