Finding Gratitude in God’s Timing

Today, I reflected on how grateful I am for the timing of the blessings in my life, especially during this challenging season. Despite the physical, mental, and familial struggles I’m facing, I’m deeply thankful to live in such a peaceful and beautiful place, where stepping outside brings me serenity. I’m also profoundly grateful for the supportive community I’ve found at St. John’s Episcopal Church, including the morning prayer group, the fiber artists, and the connections made during Sunday services and coffee hour. These small but significant blessings remind me of God’s grace, not in removing hardships, but in providing comfort and encouragement to navigate them. This reflection helps me see how God’s timing brings light, even in the darkest moments, and I feel immense gratitude for these gifts of support and connection.

Walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God. —The Book of Common Prayer, p. 376 💜Marita🌸
