From our June Newsletter…
Our family has navigated 3 tough losses in the past 6 months, and I know we’re not the only ones to walk difficult seasons. Loss, division, and anger, (to only name a few) are everywhere, and are signs of a broken world. However, if we keep our eyes open, there are still wonders to marvel at that point to God’s goodness, His life, and His constant work of making things new. As I pulled off the grill cover this spring, I was greeted by an unexpected nest occupied by 2 baby squirrels. After my
initial disappointment passed, I had to smile and just enjoy the presence of new life. In spite of this world’s trials, we look for signs of God’s goodness. In this instance I am thankful for the flourishing of His creation.
Our challenge: in the face of what might seem wrong, look for what goes right, and give thanks to Him. -Matt
“Don’t you ever wonder why
In spite of all that’s wrong here
There’s still so much that goes so right
And beauty abounds?” -A. Peterson
