So, how are you this morning? Slept well I hope, and ready to face a new day. Did you make time to speak to our Lord this morning, or was it last night? And what was the word or phrase you used most? Thank you? It is for me, and I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that it’s the same for some of you. But we do take a lot for granted don’t we? It’s only when things seem to go a bit wrong that we ask “Why me?”.
So, am I about to be torn apart and eaten by a pack of hungry wolves? Or am I out in the pouring rain with no shelter anywhere about, no umbrella, and not even a rainproof coat? Thank you Lord, I’ll take the latter every time!
A friend struggled for years with jobs that seemed to drag them down, almost hated going to work but had no choice. Then out of the blue the offer of a job that turned out to be what they had often dreamed of. Wow! Dreams do come true! Thank you Lord, you did it again.
And now I’m sitting here on a sunny spring morning writing a new set of devotionals, without a clue as to what I’ll write. But after a dreadful, cold, wet, miserable winter, I’m still saying thank you. We weren’t flooded out here, we didn’t see our homes ruined by the water, possessions destroyed, livelihood threatened. For those who faced this and are now trying to cope with saving what they can, I can only offer compassion and a wish that they are able to save as much as possible and begin rebuilding their lives.
Into every life a little rain must fall, but wait – here comes the sun. Thank you Lord, you brought us through it all – again.
