Sunday morning sunshine

On 07/29/2022

It is a gorgeous summer Sunday morning. As I am lying in bed, I can see the wind whip through the leaves and how it changes the dappled sunshine across my sheets.

For this morning’s song, I find myself singing,

“What can separate you from my perfect love? Do not fear. Do not fear. Do not fear.”
“Nothing to fear,” The Porter’s Gate

And I’m envisioning sitting on God’s lap, Him singing that to me and rocking me to the tempo of the song, which feels like a waltz.

Because right now I need someone bigger than me to make it all better.

A life of freedom and abundance

In Finding Breath, Peace

I don’t know anyone who has died while serving in the military, but Memorial Day always makes me remember friends and family who served – and likely knew fellow soldiers who died.

My grandpa served in the Pacific theater in World War II and decades later still suffered from nightmares on those few occasions he would talk about it, for example the night he told my dad about his service when my parents were first dating in the 1960s. Grandpa showed me a photo album one sunny, summer afternoon in the 1980s…it had a red padded leather cover…and black and white pictures of the devastation to human life that front line war wreaks. I can only assume he had nightmares that night too. More than 30 years later, I still haven’t forgotten those images.
