Activity...

This morning I sit and wrestle...with myself, with God, with thoughts and expectations, with past and present merging until up is down, down is up...I did not realize as is often the case...I observed my heart struggle with grief, with the grief of family and ones I love to the end of the earth and beyond, with questions...with wisdom...with the state of my heart and mind...this morning dear hearts I finally have a glimmer of light shining through the darkness, through the confusion, the heartache and frustration.

I allow the tears to slowly fall as I stand back and view the state of my emotions, my battle with feeling too much...questioning my own motives until I stand and turn in hesitancy, in indecision, unsure of where to place my feet upon this new path blown into the fabric of our world...bulldozed and levelled into a landscape unfamiliar and so I turn to what I know and believe and set my feet on high places.

God does not forsake my friends...oh I know and understand, not all believe as I do...and that is ok...more than ok...the beauty of choice is just such as this...respect and love for every individual, worrying not nor concerning oneself with what others choose to believe.

For me and my house...I choose love, I choose God and His never ending grace and mercy, His love without fail...the love that finds me when I'm low and stuck in the deepest of dark places...the love that pulls me from the edge and places my feet on firm foundations...

This morning I sit in thankfulness for a God who never forsakes....I sit in thankfulness for friends and family that love...just love and accept...whose eyes light up when I walk in the room, waiting for a hug and the love offered...

Dear treasures all...there is hope and it does spring eternal...buoyed by grace, by compassion, by mercy, by kindnesses....

Walk tall today, stand proud and speak your truth as you make your way through and out of a land of sorrow into the light and land of love.

Romans 8:31 ... “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?"

We walk with strength given, with compassion supplied, with love riding on our shoulders and in our hearts...we stand with grace, with humbleness, with mercy....we speak with tongues of angels, with dignity and stature...

May God richly bless your day...each moment suffused with love, with courage and strength for come what may.
