Good morning-
First off- I would like to say thank you to Cheri Holder, Lynn Chase and Linda Bounds for helping me figure out how to get on this as a contributor! Turns out- if you are reading this and trying to figure it out yourself- there is and invitation email that Pastor Andrea sent out on March 17th. You accept the invitation and go from there. Whew! Turns out old dogs can learn new tricks! LOL!
This morning I opened up The Bible Promise Book of daily devotionals that Julie and Leslie had graciously given me last year for my baptism.
"The Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore He will rise to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him!" Isaiah 30:18 NIV
"But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
"The prayer is: Father, please strengthen me in my waiting times. I don't always understand Your schedule, but I know it's perfect. Amen" the bible promise book
These are trying times to be sure but, I see this grand opportunity for us to come together, not just in our community but, our nation, the world! This is a rare window for us to figure out what is truly important in our lives. It is a time for courage and compassion. It is a time for forgiveness in ourselves and others. It is a time for all nations to work together to find a way to stop the virus and find a cure. It is a time to love one another as Jesus would.
God's peace and love to all of you-
Pamela
