A New Season

Nature is a great reminder of how our lives change as we go through various stages and phases. Sometimes things can get really hot, and at other times, life can feel like a breeze.

For reasons I won’t get into, I noticed a feeling of sadness bubbling up in me earlier this week. I decided to sit with it and actually feel it.

I’ve learned, over the years, that it is good to do so.

The next day I took it for a walk. I knew I could snap out of it if I wanted, but I wasn’t ready.

As I walked the wooded path I thought about many things. For one, I reflected on a conversation I had with a friend who is struggling with a difficult situation.

She shared how she was a bit offended when someone suggested that she “offer it up” to God.

Later, when I finished feeling sad, I decided that’s exactly what I would do.

God knows the whole story. He knows from whence the sadness comes.

And, He knows all the joy I have in my soul.

Today, I offer it all up to Him.

All my joys and sorrows, gifts and blessings.

Knowing. Trusting. Believing. He can and will use all things for His good.

I already feel it.

Wow . . .

“In Thanksgiving.”

Here’s to more WOW Moments!
