As We Wait

A silent snowflake on a canvas of white

First bud and bloom to welcome spring

Warm sunlight cast on a summer morn

Crimson leaf bursting to signal fall

While we wrestle with decision

Search for our provision

Pour out prayers for remission

Spend nine months in anticipation

Breath held tight in hope

From birth to death, we exist in wait

But perhaps 

Goodness and beauty exist there, too

Dormancy brings growth

Growth gives life

Life births hope

Hope sustains

May we remain

Blanketed in gratitude

Wrapped securely 

In His love and care

Trusting that He holds it all

As we wait

~Christy Smith, 2023~

"I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:13,14 NIV

As we wrap up the "God in our Waiting" series, I pray you find hope and encouragement while waiting for God. May patience and fortitude sustain you through the thickets, and may goodness and beauty grace your path as you meander through the meadows of life.
