a peek of what's to come

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving  and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100:4-5

What is that?!

As i stepped out the door yesterday morning, i was totally amazed.  Outside it appeared there was a dusting of snow on the trees.  My excitement soon melted, as i realized the fog had teased me with an illusion.  But for a split second, the sight of unexpected snow was causing my stomach to do happy flips.

Even though disappointed to discover it wasn't snow, my spirit was lifted by being reminded the time for snow would come later.  And in acknowledging that future hope, i also remembered our hope for better days would come too.

Hope for - 

a successful Covid vaccine

improved health issues

a normal school schedule

HUGGING

eating and laughing with EVERYONE

shopping with NO masks

walking side-by-side with friends

care-free traveling ANYWHERE

Like the first snow of the season, we are not there yet.  But, thanks to God i anticipate with a joyful heart the assured hope for snow and for safer, peaceful days in a season ahead.  

He who is faithful is still faithful, even in the moments-at-hand when we are struggling.  Keeping my eyes on God... there is hope in/with Him.

we are loved and chosen by God,

may we live like we believe it,
