This week is not beginning like I wish it would. We had snow yesterday, rain today and more snow is expected tomorrow morning. Winter's brutal grip seems relentless and destructive. Yet as I look around, I realize we have a warm home, enough food, supplies and uninterrupted electricity. Better weather will also arrive within a few days. I began thinking.
Life is not always the way I wish, either. Disappointment, illness, loss, pain, unexplained circumstances and heartbreaking situation abound. The brutalities of life seem to surround us. Yet as I look around, I realize we have a loving Father, faithful friends, dear family and hope. A Day will arrive when this journey is complete and a beautiful place awaits His children.
Things may not be the way I prefer them now. Yet seasons come and go. Holding onto Him and walking this journey with His peace, promises and power bring a very different perspective. This is not all there is in life. I will focus on Him...His love...His joy and His strength. It may be winter but spring will come. Life may be challenging...but He is with us. Always.
I am amazed. I am grateful. I am never alone.<3~thl
