Weather patterns

This was on the Max Lucado daily devotional calendar yesterday. I wrote it down to share with K since it mentioned weather patterns.

Heaven will never see an empty throne. Jesus occupies it at this very moment. He creates weather patterns, redirects calendars and recycles calamities - all with the goal of creating moments like this one in which we, his undeserving family, can hear him say, "I am Jesus, your Brother."

I hope he knows what it means. Here's what I think it means: Jesus is still on the throne, no matter what happens down here. He can use the bad things to draw us nearer to Him. I am living proof of that. Thank God.
