Sunrise the Day After Election Day, 2020


 I smiled to see a red, white, and blue sunrise yesterday morning, the day after our country's presidential election.  I felt the Lord's reassurance that He has not withdrawn His protective love from the United States of America, that by His grace, He will continue to hear our prayers.  I am so grateful to the Lord for His love, grace, and mercy.  Let's pray together for healing of the divisions among us, thanking God for His continued guidance and love.  

A friend recently sent me an encouraging letter that ended with a message that blessed my heart.  I record those words here because I want to save them, but also because they resonate today; God has not abandoned us:  

"Be blessed my friend. You’ve been used by God, are still being used by Him, and God is still on the throne."

The Lord has not removed His presence from us. God is with us.

Halloween

 


Daughter Melinda planned a gathering for Halloween, and in light of Covid-19 concerns I was stressed about gathering.  But the temperatures moderated (after SNOW this past week), there was a full moon, and we were able to have a blessed time together outdoors.  So grateful for the time together.
