I know I haven't been actively posting on this blog for a while.
So many things have happened in my life, with our oldest daughter starting college, my husband switching to a new job, watching my mother deteriorate from dementia so that she no longer recognizes me, and the biggest upheaval of the past year - the passing into heaven of my beloved father, the best daddy in the world and one of the most special people one could ever meet.
So life has been surging on in its ups and downs this past year, and I just haven't been at a place of writing much.
But I want to extend my love and greetings to all and wish all a happy and joyous day in Him. He certainly carries us through the ups and downs of life, doesn't He? Without Him, I couldn't make it. But thankfully, He is here and He is so wonderful. Even when things are dark and we don't feel Him, He's still there. I'm glad of that, especially since the world felt so dark and lonely and cold after I lost my dad. God was there in the coldness. I couldn't feel Him at all, but He was there and He got me through.
I see now that He is with us just as strongly in the dark and cold and lonely times as He is in the 'super-spiritual, receiving great revelations, feeling spiritual joy and strength' times. It doesn't matter what our perception is or what our feelings are; He's still there holding us. He's the constant. He never changes. He never lets go. He never has and He never will.
So I greet everyone and send out blessings and wish you all the best and hope your days are good and full of joy and peace. Isn't it a relief that grace is true, that unconditional love is true, that God is truly good? I'm so thankful that all is well deep down, no matter what's happening on the surface of life. And I'm so thankful this life story is going to end well. That gives me a lot of peace. Everything is going to be okay, for He's involved in the writing of our story and He is the God of happy endings!
