Yes!!! Such a valuable realization. ❤️

"The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of 'one’s own' or real life The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life…the life God is sending day by day." -C.S. Lewis
It seems I always have more plans, goals and to do lists than I can usually accomplish in a day or week. And instead of expecting that life will be filled with interruptions, sometimes I am still surprised.
I was thinking about this great quote yesterday when it just kept snowing and snowing and snowing. This is my real life. I should have expected this because our lives have been stopped by snow countless times over the years.
And then this verse came to mind, “This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.” This day, with all the unexpected interruptions, the calamities, the illness that came upon us as we were traveling, the irritations... This is life. And the choice that is always right, “I will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Yesterday when so many of you friends said, “How beautiful, wonderful, delightful the snow is as a result of seeing the snow scenes from my home.” And of course you helped me to redouble my efforts to correct my attitude to breathe in peace and to seek to enjoy the beauty. Thank you. It really is beautiful.
And then I got tickled. A friend commented, “Who is going to shovel all of that snow?”
Well, the servants who take care of the house of course. And so, my co-servant (Clay) and I spent time outdoors to shovel the long driveway so that we can eventually get out to go to the store. We did miss church. The snow plow for the city, had plowed a tower of 8 feet of snow against our driveway as we live at the end of the street in a cul de sac.
Yes, indeed Mr. Lewis, this is our real life. Snow, interruptions, and the grace to live into the moments with peaceful acceptance.
Praying for grace for you, my friends, for whatever your life brings your way today. May you find joy lurking around the corners.

Can we reframe our losses and pain? Absolutely! God is in this story, friends!

Have you ever pruned a tree or seen a bush pruned back? In the moment, those bare branches look like they might not make it. But later on, in the next season of growth, the leaves and fruit on the …
