When War is Over
Storms sometimes hit Long Beach's shores. But life's storms take their own toll. When we survive them, life can shine.

In Long Beach, we see storms forming offshore; we are warned about hurricanes, Nor’easters, shore erosion, and flooding.
It’s exhausting.
But life's storms also test us. They can take many forms: losing a job, a home, a relationship; losing a loved one—losing a loved one in war.

These storms toss our lives upside down. Sometimes the down is too far for us to find our way up. It was too devastating; the raging sea of life too relentless.
But those of us who survive find we are stronger, and when we compare today's gift to yesterday's sadness, the sun shines ever so brightly.

We may even find a rainbow.
See how sweet life can be When War is Over.
