The elderly man grieved over the ‘losses’ in his life. -friends, the prestige he once knew in his former job now new losses in personal health failures and even to face now the death of his spouse and one of his children.
He knew God was with him. He had walked with him through many years. Still he grieved. Losses loomed as greater than anything even with the Promises of eternity ahead. Still he grieved.
Suddenly, he was aware of the sunlight of the new morning dancing with diamond sparkles on the tree branches outside the window.
A clear and sharp reminder came into his thinking. He gained new strength to get up and explore life.
OUR GOD IS THE Creator of ALL THINGS AND HIS CREATIVITY WILL NEVER END.
This then is my prayer for us today. Let us find His creativity in every leaf or petal on a flower. Let us determine to show and bless others to experience ongoing creative life.
Rejoice and be Glad!
KNOW His life force is sacred in you and in this world around us all.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
