“With
God all things are possible.”
On this date three
years ago I received an email that would change my life.
I had
received the email notification from Match.com, a dating site I had previously
subscribed to. After too many years of not meeting “the one,” I canceled my
subscription, but apparently I failed to hide my profile.
Out of curiosity, I read the email – only three sentences long.
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
I have a strong affection for dragonflies. The semblance of one dangles from my key ring; another is pressed into the blue glass ornament that hangs in my kitchen window, while others are imprinted on my porch cushions. Seeing dragonflies flutter about my flower gardens is a feast for my eyes. So what gave birth to this insect attraction?
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
I approached the kitchen table and caught glance of the single red rose, its stem stuck in a vase and head bowed toward me. Instantly, I wanted to bow my own head in shame. How could I have forgotten? My mind traveled back to the day before when I was shopping for groceries.
