It Was Still Standing

Some places seem to have made peace with the storms.

The sea continues its restless rhythm. Waves rise, break against the rocks and disappear, only to be followed by another. The sky changes with the seasons, yet the little church remains, watching over the shoreline as it has for years beyond counting.

It does not resist the storm.

It simply endures it.

Perhaps that is why places like this draw us in.

There are seasons when life feels much the same. Unexpected losses arrive. Plans change. Winds we never saw coming leave us wondering whether anything familiar will remain when they finally pass.

Then we come upon a place that has already weathered countless storms.

Its stones bear the marks of time. Its walls have known wind, rain and waiting. Yet it still stands, not because the storms were gentle but because its foundation was never placed upon what could be moved.

There is quiet comfort in that.

Not every storm can be avoided.

Not every wave can be calmed.

But some things are built to remain.

Perhaps that is why enduring places give courage to weary hearts.

They remind us that hope is not found in a life without storms...

It is found in the foundation that remains when everything else has been shaken.
