IWSG ~ Endings and Beginnings

With every ending comes a new beginning.

This can be applied to every aspect of our lives from friendships, employment, projects, preferences, and relationships to the actual rising and setting of the sun. Some elements in our lives can come to such a sudden end it can even feel like death has stolen them away.

 

But the hope we live in is that Death has no power of over us, no matter what type of death, that we can always begin anew. "That all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)

This is my humble prayer for all of you. 2020 has not been kind to us. We were all at a specific place January 1st, 2020. We're not there, anymore. Even though it might be hard to see, we have grown. I choose to reflect on all I've been through and all that 🇺🇸 We The People 🇺🇸 have had to endure during this year, and then where I am now. I pray that 2021 brings strength, hope, and kindness and that I can be a light of that goodness for others.

My best wishes and prayers go out to you all. Stay safe and healthy as we approach the new year.

Merry Christmas🎄✝️🎄,
