Ephesians 1:3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Words of Grace for Today –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo not be afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always, \u201cDo not be afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But …<\/p>\n\n\n\n
well, there\u2019s plenty of reasons to be afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seasons change,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and with climate change, the wild storms are now ferocious, focused on destroying us<\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nRising moon sliver cannot dent the not quite frozen dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Innumerable stars pierce the black void around dancing magnetic streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dew drenched grass waits increments of snow piling on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ferocious winds wait, catapults loaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biting cold looms over the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Already the monster chews it’s bright orange flames turning wood to ash & light & heat<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ever slowly boiling the pot for morning coffee & the day’s tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All is well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank God for all the blessings (as promised each day through the generations) that have kept us alive<\/p>\n\n\n\n
until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And a home waiting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
when that last day comes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
our way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
