I love lilies. Used to have one like that. I am working on a new lily collection at my new house. 💐

I love them. We have them nearly all summer into fall...different varieties. This one is a Tiger Lily and it grows to about 6’ tall.

I just got off the ladder, spreading plastic wrap over the inside of my windows to keep the drafts out. It’s so cold, windy, and miserable here.

I applied the plastic from the INSIDE.

But I still have to go out to walk the dog and shovel out my car. I’m playing at church tomorrow morning.

Waiting in Hope

Bible in a Year:

Simeon . . . was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him.

Luke 2:25 In the movie Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, a college professor befriended a stray Akita puppy named Hachi. The dog expressed his loyalty by waiting at the train station each day for the professor to return from work. One day, the professor suffered a fatal stroke. Hachi waited hours at the train station, and for the next ten years he returned each day—awaiting His loving master.

Luke tells the story of a man named Simeon who patiently waited for the coming of his Master (Luke 2:25). The Holy Spirit revealed to Simeon that he would not see death until he saw the Messiah (v. 26). As a result, Simeon kept waiting for the One who would provide “salvation” for God’s people (v. 30). When Mary and Joseph entered the temple with Jesus, the Holy Spirit whispered to Simeon that He was the One! The wait was finally over! Simeon held Christ in his arms—the hope, salvation, and comfort for all people (vv. 28–32).

If we find ourselves in a season of waiting, may we hear the words of the prophet Isaiah with fresh ears: “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31). As we await Jesus’ return, He provides the hope and strength we need for each new day.

Reflect & Pray

When have you become weary as you waited for God? What encouraged you to endure during that challenging season?

Jesus, I will wait for You. Through pain, tears, and uncertainty, help me to not become weary but to rest in Your provision. 

For hope in the storms of life, read DiscoverySeries.org/Q0746.

There are two Classic Rock references in my post.

Anyone who can name the songs and the artists gets a virtual hug. :-)

OK. I’ll answer, since nobody did.

“We come from the land of the Ice and snow
Where the Midnight Sun and the Huskies go”
is from “The Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin, and a favorite of the Viking Kitties right here on FR.

“Don’t Eat The Yellow Snow” is from Frank Zappa’s Apostrophe Album.

I saw Frank Zappa five times back in the day. He put on an awesome show.

I think I saw Zep opening for the Paul Butterfield Blues Band at the Old Boston Tea Party when it was in the South End.

(((I say “I think” because if you can actually REMEMBER the 60’s, you probably weren’t there! LOL)))
