Yesterday, the sun was shining…and I wanted to go on a little adventure to the bird refuge…you see…the birds are back in town!

Exactly one year ago, we finally took a trip to this bird refuge, after never taking the time to go previously.

When life closes a door…I find a new one. It’s amazing how creative you can be when you have to be. It’s amazing what joy can be found from simple pleasures.

Right now, if you watch the news, there are lots of things going on which makes my head hurt…so, I’ve turned it off.

Instead, I’ve taken to establishing relationships with others. I’ve decided to get involved with nature, with people, with anything BUT the news.

I’m not saying to you that I don’t worry, that I don’t have problems but I keep having this peace come over me that everything is going to be ok.

I don’t know how or why or what ok really looks like…but I am confident that we will make it through, because He will make a way.

Yesterday, as I watched the magnificence of His creation…I knew who was in charge. I knew that man canNOT conquer all.

It was soo lovely, seeing my fellow citizens out and about and enjoying watching the magnificent nature.

To me, it was a sign that a new season is coming for us…that the dark days of the past season are behind us…and bettor days are in front of us.

I know there is great uncertainty. I honestly feel that some of those negative things, will come to a head and some way or another..it will work out. I can’t explain it, I don’t understand it..but I have peace.

Today, the sun was shining…my Dad enjoyed fried chicken. Tomorrow my parents get their long awaited Covid shot. Can I just say, what a miracle of a time we live in. I’m so blessed to live at a time when we have such brilliant minds. I’m so thankful that we have a vaccine. So thankful the numbers are down. So grateful that things are looking up.

Every book I read, every sermon I hear…talks about how we should love others and how we should see them as Jesus does. Everywhere I turn, there is hope for those dark trials that all of us seem to be finally coming out of. Even though the trial is not completely behind us…I’m beginning to feel that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I’m beginning to feel that we just might make it.

Have faith friend, this is NOT the end. This is not where the story ends!
