Promises

Promises made and kept, anchor the heart. 

Steady our steps. 

Bring comfort in the dark. And courage for the day to day. 

Wholehearted commitment and follow-through reflects and reveals the faithfulness of our God. 

As we celebrate Christmas each year, my husband and I also rejoice in another anniversary. Remembering promises we made to one another. 

Promises. December 1987.

Seasons change

Trees. Luminous in the forest. As the dying begins. 

Letting go. Piece by piece. Leaf by leaf. 

Orange. Yellow. Red. 

Beautiful. And certain. 

Seasons change.

Tear your hearts

“Tear your hearts….” The words grab my attention. 

I’m reading the Word of the Lord that came to the prophet. Joel. 

Judgment approaches. The Day of the Lord is coming. And God extends the invitation to return to Him. 

Even now.

In this season. Advent. As we wait and watch. Anticipating the coming of the Savior.
