Found

Found

for everything there is a season…

Letting go. Letting the waters rush over and cleanse. Letting the flow of energy and life continue on.⁣
⁣

Reflecting on this waterfall seems so right for a last day of the year. Yet, as I think about “letting go” of the year, I don’t want to simply focus on what I felt I lost. Although there is no denying that everyone’s life was altered this year by loss from the trivial to the most tragic, there is more than just loss. As I move forward, I hope to look back on this year and reflect instead on all that was found. ⁣
⁣
Not lost, but found.⁣
⁣
There was so much. Just like the waters rushing over and cleansing, time to pause this year refreshed and revived the normalcies of my daily life. In so many ways, life found ways to be sweeter and richer. And, as I was forced to pause and things were removed, a beautiful space was created. And, His presence had more room to dwell.⁣
⁣
Not lost, but found.⁣
⁣
And the energy and life - the gifts given in this year - carry me forward to the new year. Gifts of His grace. Peace and Joy. Hope and Love. Gifts in abundance. Just as the continuous flow of rushing water.⁣
⁣
Not lost, but found.⁣
⁣
As we enter this new year tomorrow, I hope you can join me in choosing to reflect on the year past as one that also held many things...⁣
⁣
Not lost, but found.⁣
