Strength even when.....

"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage."  (Psalm 84:5)

We are getting more snow, where I live AND, from what I see on the news, in CA.  Where I am it is difficult to get out of the driveway let alone think of a "pilgrimage."  Where would we go? How would we get there?  Leaving the snow, and the cold, sounds like a good idea but the accomplishment is another story.

At the same time it is Lent and many of us are trying to follow where God is leading, do what God is asking and, when possible, share how we have felt God with us.  This can also be a pilgrimage - especially if we aren't used to sharing how we KNOW God is with us.

Thankfully we ARE blessed because we DO have God's strength.  God's gifts of God's Son, and the Holy Spirit, do FILL us - giving us strength "for the pilgrimage."  Even if the "pilgrimage" is only as far as our desk to study God's Word.

Thank you, God, for Your strength even when we are trying something new.  Thank you for your strength even as we struggle with snow and winter weather.  Thank you for your strength even when.........   Amen
