God is There

When you feel your back is against the wall, nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, He is there.

When negative thinking takes over and you’re feeling all alone, He is there.

When this life, these relationships and seemingly everything is going wrong. When you find yourself wringing your hands in despair, He is there.

He is reaching down. He is waiting. He will go to war on your behalf.

So, Beloved, what are you waiting for? Let it all go. And grasp on tight to His mighty grip.

For always, God is there.

A Time to Laugh....

For most who know me, I have quite the exuberant laugh. I am also known to find humor in even the ‘stickiest ‘ of situations. A gift I rather cherish, especially nowadays, when these days are filled with such animosity.

The other evening I was sitting on our back patio enjoying the nature that surrounds when I noticed a pair of rabbits frolicking about. I could not help but chuckle to myself as one would run towards the other. The second then leaping over his friends back. Just as if enjoying a game of, ‘leap frog’. Later to my amazement, I noticed a, young grackle, peering downward at the ground and then fluttering about. What on earth? A chipmunk was popping its head out of his burrow, seemingly to find great amusement in startling the bird.

In Ecclesiastes 3, we learn,“There is a time and season for every activity under the Heavens.”   “A time to plant. A time to Heal. To Build. A time to gather what once was scattered. A time to Embrace. To Seek, Keep and Mend. To Speak (and extend love). A time for Peace. To Dance. To replace weeping with Laughter.”  There is no time like the present! It only takes one to ignite a flame which can spread like wildfire. Now wouldn’t that be something to behold!
