Hooray! The buttons are back! The buttons are back!
It's been about 3+ weeks that I've been wiggling around the fact that my blogger page was messed up, but today, what a sweet surprise! The buttons are back!
Sometimes things take time. Like a good meal needs some time to cook. Like an art project needs time to dry or set or cure. Like a good story needs time to develop and the author needs time to write and rewrite, and rewrite, and . . . . Like a prayer hopes to be answered.
Today I read the news that Darlene's son Mark that was seriously injured in a car accident the week before Christmas is heading home. It has already been a long and treacherous road for them but what an amazing answer to the prayers and well wishes of hundreds of bloggers who have been visiting her site over the past few weeks. If you are one of them, celebrate with me and lift up an offering of a thankful heart for our friend today. If you are new to Darlene's story, you can read more of her heartfelt and raw writings of this difficult journey here.
There are real and important lessons to be learned in the waiting. It's the place where hope and trust and faith are sown and nurtured to become the tall, strong, deeply rooted oak trees in our lives that will shelter us from the coming storms. I encourage us all to not miss the lessons in the waiting. I'd love to hear what you have learned in your life in times of waiting.
Bless you all! (And a special blessing to the blogger folks for finally coming through! It was worth the wait!)
