The smells of this time of year in south-east lower Michigan
are distinct; I am again reminded of renewed life, growth, and hope.
The hummers end their long journey north and visit our
feeder with peeps of joy and satisfaction.
The perennials begin pushing out of the ground, the bees
surround the small dappled willow leaves, the buds are large on the plum tree –
and small on the lilac.
And even in this time of brightening colors and sounds, I am
sad and worried…
When families are being torn apart, I know God weeps with
us.
When the rent is three weeks past due and the car needs huge
parts and repairs, I know God will guide us and lead us through this. He will
provide!
When we owe so much to so many people and there does not
seem to be a way ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! … … … I know we are not alone, I know
the situation is not hopeless.
In the midst of troubles, God is our ever-present Help.
Thank You, Father, for
being our Sustainer, our Provider, our First and Last. I praise Your Name on
this beautiful morning.
Forgive my distress.
Forgive my lack of faith – Father, increase my faith!
I pray for those who
have it far worse than us this morning…and let me never forget Christ’s
sufferings and death.
