From My Window

Recently, I joined a facebook group that has people posting what they see from their window during the prolonged quarantine.

The world has changed in the past few months as many were isolated. My world had changed about six months prior as isolation was the only way to retain health. Over this time period, I have gone through the range of emotions and struggled to trust and accept what my life is, what my life will be moving forward.

And so, as I write this, I watch the world go by from my window.

From my window, I see the families out walking. They are young, old, all shades of skin, all walks of life. They carry their own burdens. They need our Father. And so... watching from my window, I pray for these neighbors.

From my window, I see God's grace.

From my window, I see joy and pain.

From my window, I see His blessings in the glorious sunshine and flowers and green. I see the birds and squirrels enjoying the feeder.

From my window, I see the rain, wind, hail and storms.

From my window, I see family and friends.

From my window, I see a glimpse of God's heart. He sees the heartache that I sometimes witness on faces as they pass. His heart weeps for the brokenness of this world. He loves this world so much that He came to rescue it.

From my window, I watch... waiting in anticipation for Him to return. It seems by recent events that it may be soon.

My world seemed to shrink last September, and yet, I believe it expanded!

What do you see from your window?
