“He makes my feet like the feet of a
deer;
He enables me to stand on the heights.”
(2 Samuel 22:34 NIV)
On my way
home from church one Sunday, I was startled by a lone doe at the highest curve
in the road. She greeted me with her head held high, then bounded off into the
woods.
God used isolation
and changes in plans to bring new visions in 2020. Did we pay attention?

“Be devoted to one another in
brotherly love.
Honor one another above yourselves.”
(Romans 12:10 NIV)
My husband
is colorblind. He has a mild case of deuteranomaly, a form of color blindness in
which the green cones in the eye detect too much red light and not enough green
light. As a result, reds, greens, yellows, and browns can appear similar. Jeff’s
dreams of becoming a Navy pilot crashed with a tell-tale medical exam. In 1974
it was unacceptable for a pilot to be even slightly colorblind. He has learned
to be content with his aberration.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will
uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
(Isaiah 41:10 NIV)
As an
Amazon Prime member, I receive monthly emails with new eBooks’ selections. I
choose one to download for free and most often select a mystery or historical
novel. This month I scanned the entire list, down to the children’s book. To my
surprise it was “Julius and Macy – A Very Brave Night” by Annelouise Mahoney.

“Honest Scales and balances are from
the Lord;
all the weights in the bag are of his
making.”
(Proverbs 16:11 NIV)
I opened
my sleepy eyes on day eleven after receiving the first COVID vaccine. The
curtains on my windows spun around me – vertigo! That dreaded sense of
imbalance forced me to keep my head straight and level in order to function through
the day.
I walk daily
to strengthen my legs, as well as my heart. Running is not in my genes. My legs
ache to move slowly, steadily on a solid path. Walking poles help to keep me steady
and balanced.

“Then Jesus began to denounce the
cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not
repent.”
(Matthew 11:20 NIV)
A miracle
is defined by Merriam-Webster as “a surprising and welcome event that is not
explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the
work of a divine agency.”
