🙏💝🌅 Blessed assurance in trusting God's guidance. Thank you.

This reflection resonated deeply with me. My grandmother and her children were refugees during WWII. The story was told several times throughout the years when I was growing up. They had to flee the only place they had known and suffered hardship during the journey towards safety. I had never thought to ask what happened once they reached safety. The idea of returning to safety and how to adapt to it was never mentioned and I didn’t consider it until today. Unfortunately all those family members have passed on to eternal life so I can’t speak with them about the experience of returning to safety. They were never able to return to the place they were born, it never was safe to do so. They had to find a new home instead. That also takes courage and hope. I will be reflecting on this for a few days at least.

This spoke to my heart in a gentle way, nurturing it back to safety, thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you 🤯🙏Brilliant teaching! I can very much relate. Peace be with you.

TY for encouraging us to challenge ourselves. And for reminding us to increase our hope, faith and trust in our faithful God🙏🏻
