Did you see your shadow today?
Today is groundhog day. Apparently we have 6 more weeks to go until spring arrives. But I guess we all do have the expectation that it will indeed come....sooner or later.
My Mom is in the hospital today without that hope. She has cancer. Every breath is a struggle for her. She has been fighting for almost an entire year with no hope of surgery, chemo or even a lung transplant. I can't imagine what she is feeling. How she reconciles that everyday as she coughs and sucks oxygen for breath.
Whatever your troubles might be today, whatever hardship you may be facing, whatever struggles make it seem impossible to conquer, I hope today you remember the promise that there will be new life. Spring is coming. The seeds that have lain dormant for the winter are starting to awaken with new hope. My heart asks you to look around today and see if you have any trees beginning to have new buds. Flowers beginning to awaken. Sunshine beginning to warm the afternoon. Can you see it? We must trust that a new life will happen. A new day, a new season will come. A new chance for life in a new way.
May you see your shadow today as a promise and a hope.
