Today calm breezes soften the rays of the bright, beautiful sun. However, weather in my hometown can and often does change from one city block to the next. Last week we had several of those days, and the welcomed rain brought cloudy, windy days.

Now I only drive when necessary, especially on the rainy days. But while on the way from work several years ago, a hard rain and high winds rose suddenly. Realizing the Omnipresence of God, I tried to remain peaceful and calm, continuing to my destination. I watched as the winds dislodged dead limbs from trees along the roadway. After dancing with the wind for a moment, the limbs fell quickly to the earth, pranced along the street, and came to rest against some object.

Later in my meditation, the Father gifted me with an inspiring thought: The dead limbs of the trees were as old, worn out concepts or error thoughts. When we hold onto error in the light of Truth, it often takes a strong wind to dislodge it from our thinking.

The falling tree limbs, the thought continued, represented old ideas as they swiftly fall from consciousness down to the earth body to be eliminated. Who else but the Holy Spirit could turn such an intense act of nature into a learning experience?

When we are peaceful and receptive, light, love, and wisdom flow into our beings from the heavenly realms. There is a lesson in every moment, in every encounter. So, peace be still is my thought today and every day.
