It was a beautiful Sunday. Perfect for everyone to be outside. There were bikers and runners; dads pushing strollers; people walking their dogs. There were lawn mowers running, garages being cleaned; flowers being planted. The birds were happy and the bees were buzzing.
We attended church with our granddaughter Payton as she was confirmed in her faith. It was a lovely ceremony for her first communion. Truly an honor to witness. It was a blessing to see all she had done to prepare for this moment. It was a special celebration that I thank God for.
"As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you," (Joshua 1:5 NIV).
Every day serves to remind us that indeed God will never leave us. No matter what we do or where we go, His presence surrounds us. When we focus on His presence our day is blessed and rich with meaning. The sunshine is brighter. The breezes are refreshing. The fragrance of blooming trees fills the air. Our hearts burst with thankfulness.
Even when we face struggles in our lives, God promises to be with us. We don't walk the path alone. May you begin this new week with a fresh appreciation for God's presence. May it give you courage and strength for your days.
