At the end of what was known,
comes a new beginning
filled with unknowns, promising
the hope of restoration.

At the end of what was known
a better life awaits;
promises abound, a brilliant morn
of endless possibilities.

At the end of what was known
Love comes to heal;
the very Grace of God pouring
blessing on tired souls.

At the end of what was known
a New Creation awaits discovery.

21 January 2021

As much as life has been upended by all that we have endured, hope endures. Hope, the promise of God’s activity on our behalf, is alive. And not all that has been lost out of the lives that we led need be re-found. Perhaps we are invited to consider the blessing of time spent with family and a slower work pace as a part of our new lives. Perhaps the life that is emerging is one that no longer takes for granted each breath, each waking moment. Perhaps what what we have gained is how God desires to shape us as people who can love. Peace be with you.
