Calm in the midst of a storm...

I just came back from my personal conversation with my Creator, my God, my Best Friend...I needed that talk with Him, as this month is quite a dreary one. My feelings revolve around the memories of events in this month of June - the month of my beloved mother's birthday 75 years ago now, as well as her passing on to the next life three years ago today. That's what usually happens around these dates. But if I were to focus on my feelings alone, and let these rule my whole being, I should be very sad, downcast, feeling so low, unwilling to function. But my feelings, though real and needs attention, are just a part of me. I must take control of these and focus instead on what's really going on. If I am just able refocus, redirect my attention from these nagging doubts about the beauty of life and the joy there is in living and see these sad events from the perspective of eternity, then I would be able to wrest control from the otherwise easy path to depression. My Friend is always ready: to lend me an ear, to comfort and lift me up, to reassure me that everything is going to be fine. It would be unwise of me to not be refreshed by this. After all, my Friend has got me covered - all of me: my past, my present and my future. All I need to do is to be still in His mighty but gentle and loving Presence.
