All is Well

A summer breeze with its distinctive aroma blows softly, enticing me to lift my head, close my eyes and inhale deeply.

All is well.

My family banters back and forth at the dinner table and I smile, not needing to say a word, watching God's hand bond us together effortlessly.

All is well.

The peaceful serenity of the baby asleep in my arms makes me relax, savor the warmth and take my time in prayer.

All is well.

There is no mistaking the Holy Spirit at work as I watch ordinary women, from all walks of life, connect with one another by taking a risk, allowing themselves to be vulnerable and sharing real struggles in hopes of either gaining a better understanding of God or building up a friend.

All is well.

In the soothing tranquility after making love, the world does not seem so cold and I feel free to "be", safe and loved, without expectations, responsibilities or fear.

All is well.

I want to bottle up this all-is-well feeling and take a big swig when life is not so hot, yet I understand these moments are precious gifts, a glimpse of what is to come.

Hope for a fantastic future in heaven.

Respite from this world.

Confirmation of a very good God.

All is well.
