Daily Meditation for February 25, 2021
/in Daily Meditations /by Mary JackleIn the 176 years it took to build the Tower of Pisa, many efforts were made to correct its “tilt,” but nothing succeeded because it was built on an unstable foundation. During this present time, a similar “instability” may affect our own lives, as we experience the pandemic as well as issues of racial injustice, climate change and political unrest. Daily news reports about the many serious issues needing attention in our country and world may shake the very foundation on which we are standing. What is the foundation in your life that keeps you standing strong during these difficult times? Is it a good family or a faithful friend? Is it a deep trust in the goodness of humankind? Does your faith in a loving God provide a sturdy rock for you to stand on? Today, take time to say “thank you” to whoever or whatever provides a strong foundation for your life!
