Transformations V
 
I’ve witnessed wondrous things this past year.  The spark of faith in one dear to me that finally, suddenly took hold and burst into a roaring fire that no longer requires my fumbling, annoying prodding.  In another, the painful and joyful rejection of a once-chosen path that offered only the guarantee of self-destruction and certain death (no, not a metaphor, actual death).
 
Miracles witnessed.  Prayers answered.  Proof that ALL things are possible and that not even the most hopeless cause is truly hopeless.
 
My point:  Never give up hope that our prayers will be answered, answered perhaps not in our way, but in God’s way, which is a much better way than we could ever dream, desire or imagine.  Celebrate and rejoice in the abundant miracles of this day and the days to follow in the coming year. — jri 
 
“He will wipe away every tear from their
eyes.  There will be no more death or
mourning or crying or pain, for the old
order of things has passed away.
 
“He who was seated on the throne said,
‘I will make everything new!’”
        –     Revelation 21:4-5
 
Thank you for letting me be part of your life and faith this past year.  I hope my ramblings have been of benefit to you.  I know your prayers and kind words have sustained me.  God bless.
