"May the Lord reward your work, and your wages be full from the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge.” Ruth 2:12
There was an unexpected package at my door. With much curiosity, i ripped it open to find a beautiful, unique painting. Initially, they looked like bluebirds, either with a big smile or with duck-like beaks, sitting under an unique and captivating moon. Before reading on, what do you see?
When i thanked my cousin for the gift, she explained how this friend of hers paints birds for big events, like the flood, eclipse and now the quarantine. Part of the proceeds are donated to a local charity. She continued telling me it took her a while to realize that it was a roll of toilet paper in the background. What?!? The TP was TP, Totally Perfect, for our current state of affairs! Then she went on to say how cute the birds were wearing masks! Her artist friend had found a creative way to bring something beautiful out of a difficult time, while also helping others.
There is no disguising the fact we are dealing with unusual, questionable circumstances. Even though we are concerned about what the future holds, we have an opportunity to support, help and encourage others now.
Father, we are grateful to know You have not been caught off guard by this or any event. Give us wings to fly in deeper faith and obedience with You. May we trust how Your perfect plan includes bringing us and others into a closer relationship and dependence on You.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live like we believe it,
veneal
