It's a Gray Day but Spring Will Come Again

The sky is overcast and gray here in my neck of the woods. It's lightly raining. The forecast predicts more rain and possible coastal flooding. 

The "news and views" we hear in the world sometimes cause us to feel like a gray day inside too and - like the concerns of possible flooding for those on the coast - we sometimes fear many things. 

But all we can do is do our part, pray, and trust that spring will come again. While it's fine to plan (and I'm a big planner), we can still live each day as it comes. Maybe that's why Jesus said to pray: "Give us this day our daily bread." Maybe it was not only a way to pray but maybe also a way to live. 

And here are some bright yellow flowers to signal the coming of spring.
