There is something peaceful about flying a kite in a medium breeze. You can feel the tug of the wind through the string. The kite gently dips and and flaps its tail. Kids enjoy the fun along with the adults.

However, it doesn’t always go as planned. The wind might be too fast causing the kite to dive towards the ground. Or the wind might not blow at all. So when conditions are right, it makes it all the more enjoyable.

It reminds me of the story of Jesus calming the storm.

The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
Matthew 8:27

We can rely on Jesus to see us through storms. At all times we can feel peace knowing that God has energy we cannot see to get us through.
