The Gift of New Beginnings

 

     Looking back through the years, it seems we experience death and new life close together. The daughter-in-law of our close friends died on Christmas Eve several years ago. Their daughter delivered a precious baby boy a short time later. Such a blessing to experience this new life; a happy and joyous event, right after experiencing such tragedy and loss.

     A reminder from our God of new beginnings, regeneration, the circle of life. We grieve as our loved ones go home to heaven and we rejoice as we welcome the new little ones around us.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up, do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19

Your eyes saw my unformed body, all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16

 Father,

We trust You with the number of our days. Give peace to our hearts as we say our earthly goodbyes and hellos. We praise you for this new birth and the joy he will bring.

In Jesus name,

Amen
