Rose Petal Landing

 ************************

The kindness of God

as He poured peace into me

a rose petal gift

~

He foreknew my fears

and made a way for escape

There’s no one like Him

giving us eternal life

  wore our thorns of sin

This rose grows by our side entrance.

Our summer was drier than usual this year.

These raindrops were precious and reminded me of the grace of God.

They also reminded me of tears.

I think it’s healthy to cry when you’re overwhelmed.

I feel closer to God when I pour my heart out to Him.  

He knows me better than anyone else does,

and I find great comfort in that–

especially when

I remember He knows me better than the enemy ever could.

Many changes are in the air with the end of our summer:

my husband is starting a new job;

our sons are learning to drive;

 we’re trying online homeschooling for the first time

 (We’ve been homeschooling for over a decade); 

and our daughter moves up to senior youth group.

~

I’m not crazy about change (even good ones).

But I’ve noticed extra grace being poured out on us as we step into them.

There’s one thing that doesn’t change…

God is good all the time.

Are you experiencing change this fall?

Autumn blessings ~ Wendy ❀

~

The Lord will guide you

continually,

And satisfy your soul in

drought,

And strengthen your bones;

You shall be like a watered

garden,

And like a spring of water,

whose waters do not fail.

 Isaiah 58:11 NKJV
