War, violence, political debates that turn into personal attacks, skateboarding cats, the latest funny video. News today. It's eclectic, but in the vast mix of viral stories and current events, you hardly hear or see people sharing their faith in God.
That changed recently when Fox Carolina News posted an unusual picture snapped by their meteorologist. And while it didn't contain any mention of faith or religion, people understood it as a message of God's love.
It's a sweet story in itself, but it doesn't end there. While the picture has quickly gone viral, the beautiful thing about it is the way it has brought people together in a positive way. Practically none of the comments on the picture are negative or attack others—something rare in itself for social media. From South Carolina to Utah to Idaho, and from Baptists to Mormons, people have been commenting and sharing this story in a united show of faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ.

And it's not because the sun seemed to shine through the clouds in an incredible way that illuminated the outline of a cross. It's because so many people around the world hold a belief of Christ so deeply in their hearts that when they saw that simple picture, they all paused for a moment and celebrated their faith and Him who gave them life.
It's worth pausing to recognize that our Savior and Heavenly Father thread through everything in our lives, including weather patterns.
