DECEMBER: The Rhythm of Reflection and Rest

Leave a comment

Days upon us turn cold with
Embers in the fireplace aglow.
Calling us to the calm of winter’s sleep,
Evoking its own seasonal peace.
Many hearts at rest, and tucking in,
Beautifully enjoying the slow rhythm within.
Embracing the quiet of this flow,
Reflecting on the year past, anticipating new tomorrows.

While December comes with much celebrating of the season leading up to Christmas (and rightly so), and although there seems to be a lot of hustle and bustle surrounding it, may we take the time to truly enjoy this season with the beauty God gives us within. May our hearts tuck into the quietness of the days and reflect. Reflect on all the days of this year that are passing, and may we look forward with hope and expectation to the new that’s coming ahead.

Blessings ~

Remembering…

“𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒍𝒅…” 𝑫𝒆𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒚 32:7.

As I write these articles and begin the editing process, it will sometimes require me to go through old photos to post with the article. Often, I come across times of family events, vacations, and the like and in my mind, I am allowed to momentarily relive and remember those precious moments.

Today is a good day for reflection.  It may be Monday and the beginning of the week, or it may be a Wednesday, a Friday, or a Sunday, but if we just take a moment to think about God’s goodness and where He has brought us from, oh, the impact that would have for this day!  The remembrance of His holy protection and love that has carried us this far could ignite a fire of passion inside us to do more, to be more, and to come up to where He wants us more.

The status quo goes into these given days’ business as usual.  We can enter with a refreshed spirit and a new mindset because we remember, and our past has already testified that God has been there for us.  So far, we have survived everything we have been through, and it is because of His power, His grace, and His mercy that has been directing and covering us.  No, the path hasn’t always been easy.  But we are here today because of the love of God at work in our lives and the belief that He has so much more in store for us.

Remembering and reflecting on the old days would reassure our hearts and souls that no matter what I am facing today, God is still faithful.  Looking back reminds us, that He didn’t bring us this far to leave us.  Recalling His goodness tells us, that if He did it once, He’ll do it again.  The mindset is our God is able, He has before, and He will again be there for us through it all.

Today has just started, but because of the God in our lives, we can already see a victorious end.  This day might be brand new, but it’s not new to Him.  He has our days numbered.  We are in His thoughts.  He knows all about us, and it is in Him we rest and believe for so much more.  The journey of our soul will keep pushing ahead because we believe God has held us thus far, and He will hold us through today as well.

“But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” 2 Thessalonians 3:3

“Remember the days of old…,” Deuteronomy 32:7.

Today is a  good day for reflection.  It may be Monday and the beginning of the week, but if we just take a moment to think on His goodness and where He has brought us from already, oh, the impact that would have at the start of this day and this week!  The remembrance of His holy protection and love that has carried us so far could ignite a fire of passion inside us to do more, to be more, to come up to where He wants us more.

The status quo goes into the day business as usual.  We can enter in with a refreshed spirit and with a new mindset because our past has already testified that He has been there for us.  So far, we have survived everything that we have been through and it’s because of His power, His grace, His mercy that is directing and covering us.  No, the path wasn’t always easy.  But, we are here today because of the love of God at work in our lives and the belief that He has so much more in store for us.

There’s an old song that says, “When I think of the goodness of Jesus, And all He’s done for me, My soul, my soul cries out, Hallelu, hallelujah, I thank God for saving me,” (GMWA Youth Mass Choir/Lyrics Source: Allgospellyrics.com).  Reflection would reassure my soul that no matter what I am facing today, God is still faithful.  Taking a look back at the days from of old reminds me, He didn’t bring me this far to leave me.  Remembering His goodness tells me if He did it once, He’ll do it again.  The mindset is my God is able, He has before and He will again be there for me through it all.
