Can I be honest for a moment? Life is hard. Not just our life, I know yours is hard sometimes too.
Let me tell you about this photo.
It’s perfect.
There’s nothing about this photo I wish were different. Her smile is straight, she’s sitting up nicely, she’s confident, her outfit is on point…it’s just perfect.
What you don’t know is I took 200+ photos in several bursts on my iPhone. A couple turned out good, this one turned out perfect.
Life isn’t perfect though. Sometimes you’ll do something 200 times before you get it right. We as humans mess up countless times in a row, but then something beautiful happens, something comes together. A moment. A good one, and then all the other difficult moments of the day fade away because the good and beautiful moment can carry you farther than all the hard ones.
And hear this clearly: no one’s life is made up of perfect moments. My day is often a series of difficult, imperfect and sometimes gut wrenching moments that require strength that only comes from above in order to get through…and He gives me these moments, these perfect moments from Heaven to tell me that He understands and that He will sustain me to get through. This photo yesterday, that moment with Reagan, will carry me farther than the difficulty of our day to day. It will sail over my worry of the future, because it came from God and when He steps so gently into our chaos, I know…I know I will be OK. You will be OK too.
