Our Life Together

Shalom.

We are in the Lenten season. A time of giving up, and yet a filling up. A dying to self, and a living with the power of God. A time to draw near to the Lord, as He draws near to us. A time for His peace to reign in our hearts.

It is fitting that I’ve just completed a new painting to hang in our home at this time of year. It now hangs over our front door in our foyer to be the parting sight as we — and any guests that come over — leave our home.

It is the Hebrew word ‘Shalom’ meaning peace, wholeness, completeness. It is a greeting and a blessing. And now this word hangs over our door, greeting and blessing visitors. It is a sign that I hope will remind Trevor and I every day that God can speak peace to our hearts, as our hearts rest in Him.

My hope is that you will experience God’s wholeness, completeness, and peace — His shalom — in your hearts and homes as well.
