When It Rains Pain

Submitted by kim on Mon, 04/04/2011 - 00:12 in Lessons for Mom

There are many moments of my life  I wish I could relive.  My wedding day.  The days each of my children were born. An afternoon in the garden with my mother-in-law. Days of sweetness and love.

There are moments of my life I don't ever what to relive.  Today one rained down into my life again.  A haunting of brokenness.  A feeling so real and painful and raw, I wanted to run. 

Where does one run when past pain floods the now?  

"And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall for it had been founded on the rock." Matthew 7:25

The house stands through the storm because of the foundation. 

But how do I stand like a house on the rock?

"Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be abel to stand firm against the schemes of the devil..... pray at all times." Ephesians 6:11-18

I run to a friend's arms.  This time my brokenness is scooped up.  She stands with me through the storm of painful memories.  She prays.

"The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." Romans 16:20

My daffodils are standing again.
