Good morning…
I feel caught up in a real life whirlwind. People I love are experiencing high highs – births, weddings, birthdays, a calm return home, a successful heart transplant, a trip to Uganda to nurture single moms and widows. Others I love are facing low lows – repeated scans and a wait for results, the complications of a colostomy bag, reoccurrences of cancer (bladder, brain, colon), the losses of Alzheimers, the natural stop to a beating heart.
Yesterday morning in our therapeutic community group at PAWkids, we used acorns and crayons to express our inner world. A quiet poem poured out on the page before me.
Pain and joy.
Day and night.
Light and dark.
Growth and loss.
Everything is always
ebbing and flowing.
Put on the thinking cap of prayer
and learn
to walk through
seasons of darkness
together.
As long as the world exists, there will be a time for planting and a time for harvest. There will always be cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night (Genesis 8:22, GNT). Let’s put on our thinking cap of prayer and learn to walk through seasons of darkness together.
…Sue…
