hope-seekers.



Sometimes
there are sleepy mornings.
Fuzzy days.
Foggy moments 
that you'd rather forget.

There are times that you wish you could
just fast-forward through, right?
Too bad life doesn't have a remote control.
Yeah, too bad.

And yet,
in every day,
there is beauty.
Each day
contains the handiwork 
of God.

Even in the bumpiest 
and most difficult circumstance,
God reveals a piece of who He is.
His grace.
His mercy.
His creativity.
We just need the eyes to see it.

I am preaching to myself, of course.
But maybe you can connect as well.

And so, today,
just three weeks from Thanksgiving,
let's find the beautiful 
among the difficult.
Let's stop and listen and find
the song that God is singing over us.
Let's notice the reminders that God places in our paths 
to remind us that we are 
His beloved.

There is hope in each moment.
Even in the moments that make us ache.

Let us 
be hope-seekers
today.


For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. ~Zephaniah 3:17 

Many blessings,
Deni
