Somewhere Out There...

When I was a child one of my favorite movies was the classic "An American Tail" with little Fievel the mouse.  The song, "Somewhere Out There" was my favorite and I would sing that song all the time.  Tonight as I was driving home from seeing a movie with my neice, Morgan, I saw a sight similar to the photo posted here that I had taken a few weeks ago.  Whenever I see the sun shining through the clouds like that it always makes me think immediately it's a sign from God reminding me that He is up there and He's got everything under control.  I whispered a quiet thank you to the Lord and quietly began thinking about that song Fievel sang in my childhood memory.  You see, I think we sometimes long for the reminder that someone is out there and trust that just like Fievel that person is thinking about us.  In some ways, I think we are longing to be rescued just as he was.  No, we aren't lost in NYC with a string of cool cats as Fievel was, but many of us our "lost" in our own lives and we needs those beacons of hope to shine through to guide us back to the safety of the arms of those we love.  I love that God knows right when we need those little signs in our lives and uses His great creation to remind us that He's still out there and still reigns, and He is just waiting to "rescue" us when we get lost...just like Fievel.

And just for fun, you can sing the song with Fievel if you want by clicking here.  ;)
