Hosea 11:3
It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.
2 Peter 3:15
Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation. … Our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him.
Words of Grace For Today
In time everything changes. This morning it’s a thing, quite a thing, to go to bed with grass showing
grazed on by deer

and then
to wake at 3:00
to see the flakes flying in the flashlight

and to wake
before breakfast
to see the whole of everything and beyond covered
well by snow still falling.

But then that is life
and weather in Alberta by the lake.
Change is not always so survivable, especially not when it is evil, aimed at eroding or emptying our souls of unconditional love, forgiveness, grace, courage and hope.
Then we come to know that we need God every day, whether we see and know God or not, to heal us and to fill us with wisdom of living as those who have received salvation as a gift from God.
Only by grace are we able to live having received and sharing unconditional love, forgiveness, grace, courage and hope … with all people no matter what comes our way,
whether it is snow or Covid 19.
