Reflections 5/19/2020: “Look for me in the hard places of Your life.” So read my devotional for today. I was just outside on our deck, watching the stars give way to the burgeoning brightness of dawn. Despite the dagger in my gut, I had such a peace and love that enveloped me that tears began moistening my cheeks. What is that all about? Discovery. Discovery of You “in the hard places of my life!” Takes some “looking” to find it, but when I do, it is a cosmic hug… an all encompassing sense of well being. Circumstances be damned! God is here… right with me! Like that tenuous place between dark and light, it is a fleeting intensity, but the residual serenity is enough to get me through another day! This day includes a trip to the doctor’s office to decide about my rogue gall bladder, so I am hopeful for some direction from someone smarter than me! God, thank You for these twilight Appearances… and the “hard places” that make them all the more vigorous in their invasion of my heart!
