A Pandemic of Hope

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️   A Pandemic of Hope As I stare out the window at a scene I’ve seen before, Somehow it’s all new to me and it means a whole lot more. The leafless tree, the chirping birds, a swinging squirrel, the evergreen; I watch and listen to falling rain, with my nose pressed against the screen. I’m stuck inside, I can’t go out; stay apart, those are the rules. Yet on the news people gather close with disregard, acting like fools. There’s sickness in the air right now; it’s all around us, you and me. Can’t visit family, can’t visit friends; separated by an unseen enemy. We are a world divided and not just by these new germs.

I bought Brussels Sprouts for the first time today (22Feb2020) and believe it or not, I can’t recall having ever seen fresh ones in real life before! They are so adorable! Their colour and the intricate design of their leaves make them so beautiful! I couldn’t stop looking at them. —————————— When I entered the second night of a two-part seminar at my church a few weeks ago I noticed potted plants decorated our group tables. I didn’t pay much attention to them as I set myself up in my spot. Not long after the speaker started he instructed us to examine one of the plants in front of us and ask God what he was trying to say to us through the plant. I have always been a nerd interested in law, math, science and logic. However, in the last number of years I have been honing my artistic, creative and contemplative sides, so this little assignment excited me. What would I learn from something I see every day, usually without a second thought? Let me tell you, I could not believe...
