Whenever God closes a door, He opens a window. So many times, we wait and wait for the door to reopen. We stare impatiently at it. We shake angrily at the lock. Why did it close? Why isn’t it opening? We are so focused that we fail to see that right there, nearby, is the wide-open window. Fresh. New. Waiting.
Thank you, God, for the doors that are closed, and the windows that are open. Your Fingerprints are truly everywhere. We just need to open our eyes and our hearts to see them.
Take a peak at Beki’s blog for more Fingerprints.
Blessings to each of you on this Friday~

Sometimes we just have to wait.
It really is so true. :)
And now I want to watch The Sound of Music. :)
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not on thine own understanding.

Many, many windows have closed in Melbourne, with towns simply wiped out by the bushfires - and we need all these messages of hope, Carol.
I really enjoyed that. Thank you for that.
