Recent health issues of family members brought tears and fears for the uncertain future. But in the peaceful dawn, God spoke.
Blue gray clouds drifted across the pale sky. Dark reflections colored the lake. In the dimness of morning, not a leaf stirred. Only tiny ripples wrinkled the water.
Breaking the serenity, crickets hummed. Birds sang softly. A solitary white lily rose above a mass of green. Pink blooms sprinkled azalea bushes. With the rising sun, color and music returned.
Blushing clouds replaced the gray with a striking contrast to the silent darkness. Within minutes, rose turned to white. Dreariness disappeared, and beauty took its place.
Life offers unexpected and quick changes too. Even in the gloominess and tragedy of trials, His presence gives hope and comfort. The loveliness of creation and acts of kindness all touch hearts with God’s love.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2
Heavenly Father, thank you for speaking and comforting through your creation and your people. Amen
