Things are going to break.
Relationships get broken.
Traditions get broken.
Lives get broken.
Things are not the same as they were before.
And yet.
The story is not over.
God always and forever remakes the promise with us, in spite of and through all our brokenness,
God is faithful to us, to those who have come before, to those who will come after, to all generations to the ends of the earth.
