I was looking at the photo over our mantle today. Happy faces on a 4th of July evening: 3 graduates, 2 in high school, and 1 in middle school, my parents still alive and life in full-swing!
So many changes have happened since then. I made a quick list of all the difficulties God has seen us through. Most small, some huge! I’m recalling not to feel pitiful, but to praise and thank Him for His divine intervention and help. It’s a marvel!
Always hard to see, in the moment how dilemmas will turn out. When there’s a problem, its a big deal until the solution comes. I remember worrying over my car’s transmission… 2 children needing their wisdom teeth out… a dryer that died and an air-conditioner too… So many things over the years that disrupted our lives suddenly, but soon passed. God provided. Time marched on. Memories of distress faded. New ones appeared.
When I look back, I see God always showed us a way through or a way around. He was there everyday, through every problem. Feast or famine, grief or celebration, giving me the strength and perspective I needed.
Whatever today holds, will just be another chapter in an old book of His faithfulness. The same yesterday, today and forever… I have nothing to fear! Only excitement for what’s ahead and all He will do through us ❤️
Never leaving or forsaking us – now that’s a marvel.
