Pain

The problem of pain sits in shadows. Valleys. Sometimes hidden.

Walking by faith, we navigate broken streets. And journey with hurting people.

Face to face with a biblical reality.

“For we know that the whole creation groans…” (Romans 8:22 NASB).

The other pandemic

We meet for lunch. Fellowship over Mediterranean food. Simply connecting while all around us the global spread of a virus ensues. Intensifies.

Events cancel. Borders tighten. Universities move to virtual classrooms. Our best-laid plans are disrupted. Interrupted. Changed.

We sit in sunshine and cool air. Sisters conversing about life journeys. Children. The hard and unexpected turns in the path this past year. The joy of following Him.
