Our litte former-Ukrainian treasures are such an amazement to me.  From lives that were in tatters and ashes, beautiful flowers are blooming.  Yeah, there are days that are filled with thorns and briars, but something marvelous and beautiful is happening in our lives.

God has been restoring and redeeming what the locusts had eaten.  There is hope in Micah’s eyes that once brimmed with fear.  There is trust in the eyes of Matthew that were once empty and lifeless…having given up hope.  Eliana bubbles with joy and life and beauty.  Ethan’s eyes have a sparkle and gleam that replace the darkness and anger.

Where there was only hardened and barren soil, there sprouts beautiful blossoms of hope and life.
