When the furry of a storm subsides,
waves once thrashing the shore
are now just ripples in low coming tides,
the wind grows quiet, and clouds yield to the sun,
and you breathe a weary sigh,
thankful the end is nigh.
You remember God’s promise that
peace comes in the midst of a storm,
and peace that reigns in the soul.

Footnotes: After taking a much-needed break and rest these last several months after my own bout with Covid and other health related issues I am once again back at my computer writing and blogging again for which I am so thankful and grateful to God who has blessed and helped me through my own storms. It is that peace that assures me that whatever my storm is I am going through he gives me grace and mercy through it all. JEM
