Authoring this book of meditations has proven to be a great challenge for Elizabeth and myself because many of the stories and poems bring up painful events. The irony is that when we look at our present lives, we recognize God's provisions through good and bad times. Hopefully, you have had the same experience as you reflect/ look back on difficulties and challenges in your life. We know God does bring beauty, joy, and praise out of seemingly bad circumstances. Jesus knew sorrow. His earthly family knew aching sadness. He understands.In this collection of meditative stories and poems, we explore life's "ashes" with a focus on how the Lord weaves them into a tapestry of beauty. Let us remember that this world is not our home, and we will not understand it all now. However, in our true home, all will be well. May you enjoy Ashes in the Closet, written from our hearts.
