Who else remembers the scene in the "Wizard of Oz," of Dorothy holding Toto and singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow?" When it appeared that she would lose her little friend and all seemed lost, she looked optimistically forward....

We all encounter situations when all seems lost. Yet we focus more on the pessimistic part than the "what if something BETTER happens?" part so much! We should know from experience that after every storm there is a rainbow! After every dark night comes a new day. That every opportunity that looms up in our face in the midst of pain is a chance to start over! So my friends, focus on the rainbow! Always look ahead with faith that this too shall pass, God will get you through it.
