There have been great hardships placed upon many that I love this past year and the longing of a fresh start...a new beginning...brings hope to us all.
We must believe that better days await us. Yes, the difficulties of the past have molded us into who and what we are today, and they are giving us the strength to move forward into our tomorrows. We have learned that the winding road of life is littered with stones and pitfalls, but we must continue to appreciate the wonderment that surrounds us throughout the journey.
Yesterday, I stood at the foot of Jessica's grave with my eyes closed...just listening to the beauty that was surrounding me, before I opened them to drink in what my senses had already seen. God is all around us and showering us with what we need to find comfort here on Earth...but so often we become entangled within the webs of unimportance, that it makes us lose sight of that which is truly valuable in our lives.
May the essence of greater dreams inspire us all to see that which is hidden and to listen to the whispers quietly spoken around us...
Special prayers are extended to Ruth and her family and Janeen, Bernie, John and their families as the arcs on their circles begin to take shape...
