Reflections

 

 We got up this morning feeling a sense of hope, even in the midst of this storm.  We don't know what is in the future but God has always been faithful.  We can feel the prayers of the saints.  It's good to know they have our backs.We've been through many tough times before and look back on the ways God provided. 

 I don't believe this is the end.  I believe there is more to the story...this is just another chapter. 

 Tomorrow will bring new challenges but God's mercy promises to be new every morning.

Aeschylus said," He who learns must suffer.  And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair,against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

And on a lighter note:  and old Japanese proverb says, "Even monkeys fall out of trees.

Sundays have always been a time of reflection for me...being raised to believe that you need a day of rest, a day you don't do anything ordinary and a day to sort of look at life and ponder the things that are going on in it.
