Does anyone else enjoy the view from a rooftop? A clogged gutter gave me a chance to do just that. A downpour revealed that instead of rainwater flowing through our gutter, it was flooding over its sides into our little front garden, scattering mulch and leaving muddy puddles.
After the rain stopped and our roof dried a bit, I climbed out the window to investigate. I did notice that Mike, my husband, had his phone out, seemingly ready to dial 911, if needed. Fortunately, no emergency calls were necessary, and the problem was easily fixed by removing mud that had accumulated and blocked the downspout. The problem was solved and water rushed through the cleared pipe.
It’s good at times to step out and look at things from a different angle to see if there are any obstructions blocking the flow of our lives. It made me think about what mud needs cleared out of my own life. How about you?

Take a view of your life from a different angle.
