I wish I could extol how LIFE is slowly getting back to the anticipated "new normal". Unfortunately, my definition of LIFE is probably much different than yours. Through death, a new meaning of life has been revealed. Life seems more like a series of tragic events and less like tip toeing through the daisies! Everything outside of Gods creation, has lost its luster and remains dull and gray. Beauty lies only in the smiles of little people and landscapes yet tarnished by this world.

MERCY

1 Peter 1:3-9
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
