As I was leaving church there was a sign of whats to come along the side walk - buds from Daffodils and Crocus. I felt sudden relief. It has to improve soon.
I guess that is the way life is. We have storms that are brewing. We predict that things are going to be horrible, predict that we are ruined or will never see the light. We think that the stress will kill us or we will drown in our anger, grief, and fear because life is not the way we want it. We cant control or fix anyone. We fight and manipulate to get our way. We get it and then we are still miserable..STOP !!!
Just hold on. Find the quiet in your soul. Find the love from your God. Cast your cares and burdens on him. Hand over the people you want to be different to suit your comfort zone. That is Gods job to mold them into his likeness, not yours to toss around. Let go and let God be God.
He will give you light and make your paths straight. Search for buds of hope, buds of faith, flowers of new life, and victory. Its in your reach. It is on every sidewalk you walk and every corner you turn.
Watch and listen. One day at a time and one step at a time we can channel the weight from our weary souls into a garden overflowing with Gods beautiful creations. His love is an everlasting love.
The snow continues to fall but my soul rests in knowing that just around the corner the days will be even longer, buds will be out everywhere, and my heart will be free from burdens and concerns - if I just let them go.
