From The Darkness

This is one of my favorite pictures. When I downloaded it the screen was totally black. Yet, after enhancing somethings this picture showed up; and I love it. I like the deep contrast, and the sharp, but brilliant pine needles. It reminds me of life sometimes.
Sometimes I just don't understand things that happen. Yet, I chose to believe that God has something really lovely to bring from the darkness.

Our son is adopted. Because we have a daughter that had a bad kidney I asked to have a totally healthy child. I did not care about age, gender or ethnic background. Instead my son has mental illness, and brain damage.

Once I asked God why he sent me my son. His answer: "It's not about you, it's about him." We have had some very difficult times but I love my son, and my son has taught me a lot about God. I believe God brings beauty from the darkness. What do you think? Do you have an example you would like to share?
