Weathered and Worn

A white picket fence with pink peonies flowers in the evening sunlight.

Notice some of the flowers are in full bloom, while others are spent already.

Although the fence needs a good paint job, it is still sturdy and not broken.

As with our own lives, the fence and the flowers go through cycles of renewal.

It is through our struggles that we become stronger in the many aspects of life.

God gives us hope, in that, He will show us the way .. all we do is, like flowers, depend on Him.

God works through people to do His work, like repairing and painting the fence.

When we are weathered and worn, the reality is that God is with us, though it may not feel like it.
