Encouragement Today
Today’s encouragement is a gentle reminder that just because it may be raining outside does not mean there is not a blessing to be found.
Stop and listen. What do you hear?
When we take that simple moment to just stop and listen it is amazing the blessings that can be found in the simplicity of the silence.
This morning I woke up to the sound of rain hitting my window pane and at first I thought yuk, another rainy day until I realized no, this does not have to be a bad thing. Rain can be a good thing.
Blessings can come out of the rain. Do you need to be inspired by a song? Check out this song and maybe this will encourage you through your raindrops too, Laura Story “Blessings”.
My first blessing was hearing the birds sing their beautiful songs while I was in the stillness of my quiet home. I would not have heard them in the hustle and bustle of my busy day. That blessing would have been drowned out.
My second blessing that came with the rain was knowing I would not have to harbor any regret in getting some outside chores done today. I am free of that chore thanks to the rain.
My friend, your challenge today is to stop and be still. Listen to the silence and be blessed by what you hear.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom.
The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
