Turning my chair towards the
windows looking to the west early in the morning, I had a clear view of the
full moon. I was ready for the lunar eclipse to begin. Ever so slowly the
brightness from the moon began to disappear, until there was total darkness. I
couldn’t even see where the moon was for a time. Then a reddish color started
to appear as the moon slowly reappeared.
Life can be like a lunar eclipse. Sometimes
you can see clearly, in the light that shines bright, and then when trials come
and darkness overtakes you, it is then that you have to hold on to what you
know to be right and true, trusting on the promises of God even when you can’t
see your way, and you feel all alone. It is darkest just before the light comes
back once again. Jesus had one of those times as He went through the experience
in the Garden of Gethsemane, and on to the cross. He felt totally separated
from the Father. Yet, He continued to trust and say, “Thy will be done.”
With the return of the light, the moon had a reddish color to it,
reminding me of the blood of Jesus shed on the cross for my behalf. Thank you Jesus!
Happy For A Reason Reasons:
Happy For A Reason Reasons:
1. Enjoyed
getting up early this morning so I could watch the lunar eclipse.
2. Burr
it is cold! Makes for a very pretty frosty morning!
3. Was
able to go to church this morning with Ron. When I work nights it doesn’t
happen too often.
4. My
stove has a delayed bake setting, so the house smelled delicious, and the meal
was ready to eat when we got home.
5. I
love Christmas music! I can listen to it all year long!
