24: EVEN IN THE DARKEST OF TIMES, THERE SHINES A RAY OF LIGHT, A RAY OF HOPE.

Look for the rainbow in each and every day, no matter how black the clouds. There is a rainbow in some part of your life. It may be partially hidden or very difficult to see at all. Place your focus, your attention on the joy and on the magnificence of the colors of the fabric that make up your life. Together they make up a kaleidoscope of magnificent beauty. So when there are thunderclouds or dark clouds in your day, remember that the rainbow still exists. And it is a matter of placing your focus on those gifts and those blessings which make up your rainbow of life.

God is ever present throughout the most severe of thunderstorms, the darkest of nights. There is always hope – hope of a new day, a more joyful experience. It is a matter of surrendering to the human condition and knowing that, just as you have chosen the difficulties upon the path, so do you have the ability to choose to turn your head toward the Light, even during the darkest of times. There is always a ray of Light and a rainbow hidden behind what may seem the most overwhelming challenge.
