Gray

Gray

My favorite color!
Painted nearly the entire house gray.
Love to wear gray...the new black...at least it used to be.
Rest comes during a rainy gray day.
Some say it's such a depressing color, but to me:
    it's earthy,
                   natural,
                              relaxing,
                                          even fun...
     the perfect backdrop for
                     brilliance,
                               brightness,
                                            happiness.
Reminds me of our hardships:
     the perfect backdrop for
                     blessings,
                                gratefulness,
                                              hope!

*I feel led to make a note here that the only thing I don't like about grey is how we as Christians get stuck in the gray sometimes.  We long for the black and white...for clear understanding...good vs. evil.  But the grey is where we differ, where we disagree, and where we divide.  May the gray change us to be more loving, kind, and understanding in our differences and find unity in the WHITE...the GOOD...in God the Father, Christ the Savior, and Holy Spirit the Counselor and Comforter.  And may God forgive us of the wrong that we do in the gray.  Amen!
