The Hope in Dormancy
Do you remember how my children gave me a live oak tree for Christmas? I have been worrying about it because its leaves all went brown. Could it have died? I only told oldest son DC, because it made me too sad. He's the one that said to scrape some bark off one of the branches to see if it was still green underneath.
That seemed to work, but still I doubted there was life, as the brown leaves hung there. Then yesterday husband CB told me that there were some little green buds popping out on one of the branches! I tried to take a picture, but couldn't get those tiny living leaves into focus with my camera. But that is proof that there is hope in dormancy (or death?).
And fortuitously, last night I received this cartoon from Kristin Noelle:
TRUST IS

"Knowing dormancy is part of the cycle" is a good thought as I head into the season of Lent. Also death is part of the cycle and still there is hope!

Believing that seasons change
Trust is

Having faith that weather seasons change is more obvious than other seasons of our lives shifting. Friends sometimes come for a season. I am recently aware of a period of pain in my life, which I hope will only last for a season. I want to believe that those seasons change, too!

The truth of grief
Trust is
Cynthia at Reverend Mom directed me to Kristin Noelle, who creates cartoons that touch my heart. You can sign up for 30 days of sketches based on the theme of trust here. If you want to see a sample of what you'll be getting, click here and here. It's like the New Yorker cartoons, but with kindness and grace.
Thanks to Cynthia, I signed up for the 30 days of cartoons. The one above was the ninth of 30.
