Wait It Out.

Pleasant greetings friends, welcome to a new week. Happy Thanksgiving to all Canadian friends here. I hope you have a wonderful celebration.

Be Patient And Trust That The Storm Will Pass.

Standing at the entrance of my church, St. Ambrose Catholic Church, Aba, I watched the construction work ongoing at the adjacent old primary school. The dilapidated structures had been demolished, and workers were busy rebuilding them. The atmosphere was lively, with the sounds of shovels mixing the materials, workers carrying blocks and chatter filling the air.

But as I watched, the clouds began to gather, their dark masses looming on the horizon. Gradually, the sky transformed, and the atmosphere shifted. As if on cue, thunderstorms rolled in, with thunder booming across the sky, and without warning, the heavens opened up, sending workers and worshipers alike scurrying for cover.

From the chapel where I sought refuge, I could hear the sound of heavy droplets drumming against the roof. Although the sound was almost deafening, but yet musical.

After about two hours, the rain began to subside and the sky cleared. I hurriedly stepped out to assess the situation and that's when I spotted a flock of egrets perched on the school field. They seemed to be having a time of their lives - enjoying the light showers while snatching up grasshoppers and other insects been flushed by out by the rain.

It was a beautiful scene to behold, and as I stood there watching the birds, something struck me;

Change is the only constant.

Just hours ago, the atmosphere was tense - dark clouds gathered in the sky, a sign of impending rain. Then a heavy breeze followed, causing the trees and flowers to bend and away violently and equally threatenibg to tear off roofing materials. But now, with the rain washed away, the atmosphere is csln and serene. It sent a powerful message:

Challenges, storms are inevitable part of life's journey, but they don't last forever. Every storm will pass, giving way to calm. But even in the midst of turmoil, patience is key - for that's what helps us navigate life's ups and downs.

Peace ✌️
