“Hoping against hope…” –Romans 4:18
After ten minutes of trial and error we were finally connected via zoom. While not preferable, it was the safest option for meeting. A stretch of cold, more than normal wintery precipitation, and the ongoing isolation and limits, we were all of a bit stir crazy.
“On my way back from the mailbox, I noticed this little bit of green,” she shared excitedly. “It was a crocus, pushing out through the snow. And it just reminded me that spring is coming. The season will change. Something beautiful will emerge.”
Even in the wilderness of Lent there are signs of hope and new life.
Take time to check your flower beds or go on a walk. Find a spring flower to pick (or purchase a grocery store bouquet) or photograph as a reminder of hope.
Consider, where around you is God offering a promise of renewal or transformation? Where do you see hope?
God, open my eyes to the signs of beauty, hope, and promise that surround me. Amen.
We hope this brings you comfort and joy. You can spread the joy by liking, commenting and sharing this post with others!
