9/25/2021 As we head into fall we see the leaves change and then slowly fall to the ground forming food for the coming years. The flowers begin to fade and wither but many await the sun and warmth of spring to come forth again. Many trees hibernate but the pines and their friends stay green as a promise life will spring forth again and death is not the final act as we think.

Here we see hope and grace in Creation as it looks to the Creator to not just renew life but is Life! God’s grace is a second chance and even as fall turns into winter spring and the hope of Easter reminds us as God spoke through the writer of Ecclesiastes “there is a time to every purpose under heaven”!!!

This is an entry from my Hope Journal which helps me have hope, beyond hope.

From my Grace Journal. It was suggested to start a Grace Journal as a reminder of our need not for agreement but grace to guide our relationships.
