January Glory
I picked the word Glory for 2024 and I'm so glad I did. It may seem silly to settle on a word but for me, because I chose it, I am watching and listening and feeling for Glory all the time, wondering where God will choose to show me glory. About 30 years ago, when Roger and I were first dating, I dreamed of one day living on water, by a lake maybe. Because we live in northwest Iowa it was a "for later" dream but it never left. It evolved into a desire to live by water and somewhere that I can see the sun rise and sun set. Some people already live by water and have a view of sunrise and sunset but I do not. Perhaps the longing for it makes the satisfaction sweeter when I get to witness an amazing sunrise (driving somewhere early in the morning) or sunset (also driving somewhere at dusk).....but perhaps it is also because where I live presently, my view is imperfect and blended with other things like trees. Perhaps the glory can be found in seeing a magnificent sun
