Weekly Photo Challenge: Future Tense (iPhoneography)
We imagine how this tulip will appear tomorrow. And yet we appreciate it’s beauty today. We live midst the tension of the “already and not yet”. This is especially true during the Lenten Season as we look forward to Easter. This reminds us to be patient with our own shortcomings. We live in hope, believing in the “not yet”.

I greatly appreciate your reminder, “This reminds us to be patient with our own shortcomings.” Grace is a constant need and God is consistent in providing it.
Thank you, John. I think we are often hardest on ourselves.
