Taste and see the Lord is Good | Psalm 34:8
For more than 3 years our little beauty Lumina has been growing, learning, doing and teaching. Every day, with every breath, she teaches her daddy, mommy and sister how to be grateful for the moment, and hopeful for the future.
Today a video came up in my memory feed on Facebook, and it reminds me of the hope God gives so I wanted to share with you all. Hopefully you enjoy and are encouraged.
The Hope of Christ in our Hearts
Just one example of how Lumina's life speaks truth and hope into our lives struck me the other day while I was in conversation with my older daughter, Lumina's big sister, Hazel.
The other day Hazel said the most amazing thing:
- Hazel "Dad, you have lots of white hair now."
- Me: "Daddy's getting older. One day dad's gonna go be with Jesus and that will be sad but also joyful too!"
- Hazel: "And one day, when Lumina goes to heaven, she will be able to walk!"
My five year old daughter knows the hope of Christ. She knows God's good grace and mercy. She looks onward with hope, peace and joy for a time when God will return, wipe away every tear and make all things new. (Revelation 21:4-5)
That is hope. That is faith. That is joy and peace and courage from God, amidst great difficulty.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
That is beautiful biblical truth. Thank you Lord for that gift, and thank you Lord for these two wonderful daughters.
Both Lumina and Hazel are beautiful, wonderful gifts from God, and we are grateful for the inspiration they offer in us daily. Lord help us lead them as you would have.
Thank you everyone who has been praying, supporting and loving our family through our ups and downs, through the hospital stays, and the medical episodes. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We are so blessed: The Lord is good!
Psalm 34:8 English Standard Version (ESV)
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
Here is a little video of Lumina from 3 years ago, just being her adorable self, which inspired today's post.

The Lord, indeed, is good and His faithful love endures forever. Thanks for the beautiful reminder of that. We are susceptible to buy into lies and forget His promises.
So true. We are fickle and its so good to take a moment and remind ourselves that He is good.
Lord help us rest faithfully in your peace, joy and hope.
