Good morning…
At 7:15 pm, her text came in with the image above and these two sentences: “Friend just shared this. I know you’ll love it!!!!!!”
She’s right. I love it.
Sometimes it hurts to open our eyes. Sometimes taking a deep breath feels impossible. Sometimes it’s really hard to move our feet from the bed to the floor. Stepping out into the day, there are so many strange and delightful horrors kept in the world’s back pocket.
People enduring harsh treatment for cancer, addiction, anxiety. People facing scans and key results of painful tests. People feeling trapped in strangling relationships, depleted, devalued, depressed. People losing loved ones to death or to dementia. People quietly caregiving for loved ones the best way they know how. People waking to war, uncertain, frightened, grieving. Yes. In this world, there are many strange, delightful horrors.
But, look. Look how she faces the sun. Look what he’s making of the mess. Look what becomes of their bravery.
In hard, unchosen ways we live this day with God. Have courage and show your bravery (2 Samuel 13:28b, VOICE).
