I recently learned that a family who I have known since I moved here has suddenly lost their father and husband. It breaks my heart that these young children will grow up without their daddy, that the youngest may not even have a memory of him, and the pain and loneliness that his wife must be feeling right now...
It's funny how though autumn is a time of decay and death, God designed it to be so full of beauty. Imagine if autumn happened for the first time and no one knew what was going on, no one knew that after the winter, spring would come again, and miraculously the trees began to bud again and everything came back to life! But at the time of fall, all people could do was watch as the beauty of summer faded with no sign of hope.
I'm thankful for hope. We take for granted the miracle of spring.
Lifting up this family to You today Lord, and asking You for comfort and hope to fill them.
And the skies turn from grey to blue
Stay strong, stay strong
Morning will come
As the Lord makes all things new
