The bright sunshine today held such promise. It's a reminder that even the longest, darkest season must give way to light and warmth and new beginnings. Basking in the rays on my face today, watching the barren trees seem to soak up the sun, seeing such vibrant color even without leaves and flowers in bloom - all point to life after death, to hope even in despair, to the quiet knowing that there is new life being born under the surface...
Spring is still so far away - and so many unknowns await. Will Grace find medical coverage for her methadone? It's not looking promising right now. Will she be able to handle the stress? Finish school? Will Melody be ok if Grace cannot maintain her sobriety? They are so close now - closer than I've ever imagined possible.
So many worries that are out of my control. But standing in the sun today gives me hope. There are better days ahead. There are juices awakening in unseen places that will soon bring color and life. May it be so not only in nature, but in the life of this family. Amen.
