lent 2

the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. - Job 1: 20-21

perhaps the hardest lesson, most oft learnt over and over, and the slowest to find a permanent home within. when i lift my eyes above the waves and the flames to the cross of calvary i find inexplicably, a peace to the turmoil and a hope beyond the pain. it is the Lord, and not what he gives, or takes away.
