It's Only a Season





Rainy, cold spring days appear to be on a repeat cycle here in my neck of the woods.  In some ways, the weather seems to reflect the bleak mood of our restricted nation as well as the world these days.  The Corona virus affects the way society does life, but there are good things hidden in bad times. 

I’m sharing my thoughts at Cheryl’s today.  I hope you will visit me there at Homespun Devotions!  She is collecting stories about coping during this time of social distancing.  You might even want to share yours!

Stay Safe.

  1. It snowed here yesterday. It didn't stick and I was very much hoping it would. I will go over to Homespun Devotions and read your entry. Thank you for adding your story.

    I like your view expressed in Homespun devotions, that togetherness will help us overcome the corona crisis.

He Cares for the Sparrow, the Orphan and the Widow

  My alarm went off this morning on my cell and there it was, the Bible verse of the day staring at me on my Bible App.    Ah, this verse, it described yesterday to a tee.     For I hold you by your right hand—      I, the  Lord  your God. And I say to you,      ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.   Isaiah 41:13     Yesterday’s surprise threw me a curveball.   I got home from my workout about mid-morning.   I drove up to the driveway and discovered what looked like a geyser shooting up on my property.   I guess a low of 19 freezing degrees can easily burst an outside faucet.   Panic began to grip me and choke me as I inspected the overflow but at the same time I noticed very thirsty sparrows lapping up moisture and having a good time in my dilemma.   I can’t blame them.   Their bird bath is frozen.   I hated to put an end to their excitement in t...

Baby Died

  Leave it to Baby to exit this world on an exciting Eclipse Day.   Talk about a grand departure!   I remember well the day I drove to the pet store.   It was 40 years ago and our youngest enrolled in kindergarten.   The house seemed too quiet all of a sudden.   I needed a friend.   I remember praying before I shopped for a bird.   Not a fragile parakeet this time, but I asked for a strong bird whose sounds would fill up our empty rooms.   I chose a young cockatiel and the family named him Baby.   Baby was a little too loud, but funny to have around especially when Tom came home from his job with the phone company.   He wore a pager back then and got in the habit of turning it off, back on and off again before setting it down by his wallet and keys.   Baby echoed the pager call perfectly and made us laugh every time.   I figured Baby, such a perky bird, would last a long time, but never expected him to hit the typica...

The Number Six

  I’ve been seeing a lot of six’s lately.   Just today the temperature gauge in the kitchen read 66.6F as I passed by.   Why all the six’s?   Is there a secret message I need to search in number 6? I began my search in the book of Psalms and this is what I found: He changed the sea to dry land,      and his people went across the water on foot.      So let’s celebrate because of what he has done! Psalm 66:6 Think about this passage!   After they completed the Passover Seder dinner, the children of Israel gathered their belongings and set out for the promise land on foot.   I can imagine the hope and expectation they felt as they began their pilgrimage to freedom.  They left oppression and slavery behind them in Egypt.   That was until they realized the enemy was chasing them.   Panic filled their hearts, but the Lord made a way.   The Psalm tells us they walked across the Red Sea on ...
