This past weekend I had the privilege to spend a couple days with my family. It was significant in that it was the first time that my family has come together since the passing of my Grandfather and Aunt this past spring. This time of fellowship was exactly what we needed.
My husband and I were sitting on the back porch with my parents and grandmother just watching the humming birds when a cool breeze blew. My Grandmother just closed her eyes and took a deep breath and smiled. She then opened her eyes and said, "That breeze is just wonderful!" It was so refreshing to see my grandmother so at peace. She is still healing from the loss of my grandfather but knows that she will see him again soon. Knowing that he was close with the Lord comforts her and brings her such peace. She shared some stories and habits he had. We laughed and reminisced - it was joyful!
It's situations like this that remind me of what an amazing God we serve. A God that saves us. A God created the entire world. A God that loves, comforts, and heals us.
I am guilty of getting distracted by the world. When everything is quite, I clear my mind, pray and seek God's will -- I am instantly rejuvenated and grateful.
When life gets busy, let's pause and remind ourselves about the little things like a cool breeze, the sound of hummingbird wings, or a grandfather's quirks. God is with us always no matter where we find ourselves -- in the middle of a busy city of a back porch in the country.
Have faith,
Graceful Mrs.
