Spiritual markers

Remember spiritual markers. 

Turning points in personal history. 

Moments of growth when God gives wisdom. And courage to take the next step. Boldness to enter something new.

Remember significant signposts in His Word. 

And give thanks.

Devotional Memoir

As a child

First memory of sand and waves holds fast in the corners of my mind. Living on the island of vacations I experienced. As a child. 

There was another beach before that. When I was a toddler. Depicted in family photographs during our sojourn in Thailand.  

But Bali reigns in my memory files. Footprints on the beach taking me back. 

Hot sun, yellow sand. Volcano in the distance.

All we cannot see

The new year approaches.
And we’re looking sideways at the year that was. 

2020.
Planned calendar undone.
Change unexpected.
Grief unwanted.

Up close and personal reminders
of all we do not know. 
All we cannot see.
