This Chair’s For You
Before the beginning of time, God knew you. Knew what your circumstances would be. You--and I--are the work of his hands. He knows. He cares.

You might not have experienced loss as a widow, but I'll bet you've experienced other kinds of loss. It could be death. Health. A scary diagnosis....you can probably relate to at least one item on the list. And when you're experiencing it, it feels big. Really big. And when you're in one of those places, you might not believe it, but I can tell you, God is there. He really is. All of the time.
Our life is like the morning fog.......
I see the sun beginning to pink the sky. I'm going to enjoy it--and thank God for life itself.
What are you waiting for? Release from pain or illness? Release from the grief that is tearing you up inside and out? We're all there at times--being made to lie down and wait.
I'm not sure why God created seasons, but I'm sure glad He did.
I realize I need to make the most of this day and the time I have left on earth. I will switch gears from the soft summer nights, to the cooler evenings that grow dark more quickly. To the sound of crickets and the need to wear a jacket.
No one invites death. Or change. Strangeness. Or hard times. But they come to all of us. When they come, how will those changes leave you?
We don't know our country's future. I don't know what's ahead in my life and neither do you. But we know who we can trust in our precarious times that have always been precarious.
We cannot stop time, but we can relish the time we have.
