November 9

The sky today was interesting.

It rained overnight, so the morning hours were mostly overcast. Then the sun came out for a short time before the clouds once again returned for most of the rest of the day.

As I headed home from picking up the boys this afternoon, the sun peeked through a bank of dark clouds. I thought it was lovely, so I went up to the deck out back and took a long look at the sunbeams that shone down over the valley.

The scene looked like a promise, somehow; a promise that though situations can seem bleak at times, sunlight can always pierce the darkness.
