Good Friday - where Jesus died on the cross ... but the story doesn't end there. I was a little girl when I found a lost dog. It was a German Shepherd and I loved him. But more importantly, I needed him. School was difficult. My home was chaotic. My sadness was deep. This lost and beautiful animal was exactly the miracle I was hoping for. I obediently posted flyers around the neighborhood but I secretly prayed nobody would respond so I could keep him. My friendship with him grew. As the hours turned into days and then weeks, I thought the blessing was mine. Sadly, the call came and the owner retrieved him. I was crushed AND I was strong. It has taken a half century to realize little stories such as these created cracks in my soul. It is a place where God painted faith, hope and love to mend those broken places. I am not arrogant enough to think that my story should affect yours but perhaps mine can provide a platform in which God can mend and heal those places in you. Lord God, through the power of the holy spirit, provide clarity and wisdom through your promises. Amen
