My heart doesn't feel like singing today, but I know that God inhabits the praises of His people, so I will sing, if not out loud at least in my mind.
The "fall" weather is both exhilerating and depressing. The breeze feels good on my face. Today Caleb and I sat on the back deck while he read his book to me. Did I mention that he hates to read, but read he did and we got a treat. As we sat there, hovering over his book, a humming bird lit on the feeder behind us. Caleb was so excited and so was I. Caleb stopped reading for a moment and we watched the tiny bird until he flew away.
But back to the weather, it is exhilerating because the heat isn't present, but depressing for lots of reasons, one of them being that everything will start to look dead and barren. The way my life looked 3 years ago at this time of the year. It's easy to believe that God has abandoned us when everything looks this way, but I know better. Out of what was almost the end of my marriage, came a loving, vibrant relationship, that is better than I could have dreamed or wished for. A relationship that is only possible because of our relationship with our loving Creator. Out of the ashes, so to speak, our marriage has risen stronger than ever.
Isaiah 43:2-3a says:
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior;
I can tell you from experience, that this is true. God will never leave you nor forsake you. He is just a prayer away.
