How do you know when you are healed?
“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” ”
As I sit here and look out the window into our beautiful backyard, I can’t help but be thankful for the scenery that God has gifted me with this morning.
My goodness, God has been so good.
My brother called a bit ago just to tell me again how happy he is to see me living this life of mine . He does that from time-to-time.
We chatted for a while and talked about life as we often do. We have both walked through some tough times which have shaped us into who we are today. And thankfully we have learned to like ourselves along the way.
I don’t think the younger me knew how to appreciate what the older me does. Maybe, she was just too busy looking at things that didn’t matter?
Or maybe she was just too wounded from her past and she needed to find more healing before she could really embrace what was before her.
Lord knows, she needed grace.
Tucked away here in these woods, my favorite farm guy, has loved my heart so well. Gentle and compassionate, his way of loving me has brought such security to my once wounded soul.
I think one of the ways you know you’re healed from your past is when you can look back at what you’ve been through with gratitude.
I barely remember the ruins for the rebuilding and restoration has been just too beautiful to remember anything less than that.
Are healed yet?
