Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
[Proverbs 13:12]
Last week, my girls & I went on a field trip with friends to The Painted Press and each of us got to design whatever we liked on one of their beautiful jewelry dishes. This was mine, a verse and image with special meaning to my husband and I. Words of promise and hope.
The next day, eleven people lost their lives at the Tree Of Life Synagogue in Pennsylvania. Seven of those killed were alive during the Holocaust. I have no words.
So I turn to the back of the Book and read these words …
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him. They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. [Revelation 22:1-5]
Words of promise and hope.
this is such a touching and special remembrance of such a horrific and sad event. thank you
