When the alarm went off again he just rolled over wishing the "snooze" button lasted more than eight minutes. There had to be a way to postpone the day.
When the light turned green she knew that meant she had to drive closer to what she had dreamt she could avoid. Why is it that stop lights are only long when you want to get somewhere?
He watched the clock on the wall wishing the work day would last longer and he wouldn't have to face the home and its brokenness again. It seems the arms do double time during vacation and half time when you wish they would slow down.
She felt the weight that no one could see. It was a strange heaviness that seemed to be like a cloud on the outside and a growing tumor on the inside… how does it do both?
To my friends who are going to live another 24 hours with regret as a companion, screaming in your ears sometimes and other times silently getting in your way-
May the season of Spring give you the flavor of new hope.
May the Spirit of God remind you of what does and what doesn't last.
May you be wise enough to listen to God speak grace into your life.
May you find quiet rest from the weight through real time with the Lover of your soul.
May anticipation and faith take root in your spirit so that you are soon feasting on the fruit of joy.
This morning my heart is heavy for those who have regret as a constant companion. You are living less than your Maker intends. There is more of what you need and less of what you dread. Listen close enough for Him to remind you of that. I have no trite answers or religious clichés, just a loving call to not give up… God's up to something new.
Someone needed to read that.
Blessings,
Pastor Dave
