When going through the dark times in life it feels like nothing is going right. Even if everything isn’t going wrong, it can sometimes feel that way. It feels kind of like watching a never-ending broadcast of the nightly news—Twenty five minutes of negative stories, followed by one positive human interest story at the end, as though that were going to even it all out. “A local dog was rescued after it fell through the ice at a nearby lake. He’s now back safe with his owners. Fluffy thanks the local Fire and Rescue team for their brave efforts.” But at least they usually have broadcasters who can emote well with their voices. A more positive upbeat tone can help take the edge off all the negativity. I suppose that’s why Ben Stein was never hired to broadcast the nightly news. It would be kind of like having Droopy Dog or Eeyore do the broadcast. After a half hour of that you would barely have the energy to get out of your chair.
But regardless of how it seems, it’s probably important that we remember that our storms (or trials) always have good things that come out of them. If you think about an actual storm, minus some destructive power, it does always bring much needed rain. Sometimes they bring more than needed, but that can be a matter of perspective—kind of like glass half full type thinking. Other times it’s like, no wait….the glass is overflowing! That sometimes happens to my basement.
Anyway, there are other purposes a storm serves besides just rain. Did you know that storms help clean the air? Yeah, the lightning from storms creates ozone which actually cleans the air. That’s why after a storm passes through you get that kind of fresh-smelling clean feeling in the air. It’s kind of like nature’s own fabric softener…air softener, maybe. It’s something we don’t often think of, but these storms do serve a purpose. It’s not all bad all the time.

And so it is with the storms of our lives (here’s where I segue into the important part). No, but I think we are usually in too much of a hurry to get through the storm that we don’t glean all the positives from the storm that we can. I know they are hard and that they take a toll on a person, but there’s another positive thing about storms—they don’t last forever. And there’s often something we can learn from it. There’s some lesson, even no matter how small, that can help us to improve ourselves in some way. There are just certain things you learn in the storm that you just can’t learn anywhere else. I guess that’s the takeaway from all this. We certainly don’t want to camp out in the storm, but we don’t want to ignore the positives either. And that may actually be the lesson—learning to see the positives.
