SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28
Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, God’s mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Although this has been one of the longest and coldest winters in recent memory, it has been a season of great joy and blessing for Charlotte and me. December and February each brought a new grandchild into our family. As with the experience of becoming a parent, grandparenthood is filled with a sense of wonder and amazement.
How can He create something so tiny and wonderful? Something so helpless and vulnerable, yet with such promise? Something so dependent on love, which will be capable of loving? Jesus came into this world as an infant. He was tiny and helpless like our children and grandchildren. He has experienced this life.
We all know that these are difficult economic times and that people are really hurting. But these things pale in comparison to what God has done and continues to do for us.
Great is Thy Faithfulness
[Presbyterian Hymnal #276]
Great is thy faithfulness! Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed thy hand hath provided;
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Prayer: In the words of the hymn, I thank you for “strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!” Amen.
