For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. This morning I was able to walk at the dam again for the first time in several weeks. It was one of those beautiful spring mornings with clear, blue skies filled with white, fluffy clouds. The leaves on the big tree are mostly out now and the daises encircle it in full bloom. The day was one of hope, a reminder of God’s new creation that he is making in each of us who follow him.
The past months have been difficult for my family as we have watched my mother enter hospice care after a long slow decline in her health over the past several years. With each trip to help take care of her, each hard thing or decision, I had friends who I could count on to pray for me. They have supported me with emails, texts, cards, and even meals. I will forever be grateful for their love and care. My mother’s long journey of illness is over now. Even in our sadness there is hope for we know that she is with Jesus seeing beauty we can’t even imagine. Prayer Lord Jesus Thank you for the hope we have in you and the new creation you have begun. Thank you for friends who encourage and support us during dark days. Amen
