Glimpses

I love the sound of a lawn mower, it takes me back to a simpler time, when my life was less complicated. A time of running, playing, jumping out of the hay loft into a mound of fragrant straw, swinging on the rope swing in the barn, riding bikes up the little lane, laying under the maple trees and daydreaming.


My life and the lives of loved ones have been whirlwinds of late, and I for one am ready for a get-away, all by myself, no electronics, just some hushed place waiting to refresh my soul. Whether that happens or not, I don't know, because life keeps coming at me some good, some not so good.



All I know is that my God is faithful, even when it may not seem like it. My needs are meet, I am grateful. I have no complaints, though I complain far to often. He is ever present, even when it doesn't feel like it. How often I wish for a tangible, warm body. Yet, He gives companionship when I need it, though not always when I want it.


Fact: Life is hard. Sometimes it stinks, a lot. But even in the midst of the hard and ugly, God always seems to give glimpses of His goodness and glory. That is what keeps me going.
