"The people who sat in darkness

have seen a great light,

And upon those who sat in the region

and shadow of death

Light has dawned."

 Matthew 4:16 

 

Why do so many of us experience deep dispair in our lives?

Why do we seem to struggle through crisis after crisis

without celebrating the fact that we already made it through crisis after crisis already?

Why do we make wrong choices,

that bring pain and loss into our lives ... over and over?

Why do we struggle and strive just to have as much as  ... or more than our neighbor?

 

Are we choosing to live in darkness,

or receiving the Light?

 

Life is about choices;

About learning to make the right choices ~

Choices that lead to compassion,  satisfaction, fulfillment.

 

~ B

 

What makes you really happy?

Great question, B.  As tough as they can be, it's relationships that satisfy us, isn't it?

Without a doubt, it is relationships ... each of them flavors us a bit differently!

And I think that flavor's gonna be sweet soon when you get to see your daughter again!

Yes ... bittersweet.  As you well know, nothing stays the same.  That moment in time when the kids are small passes so quickly.  Now, they are each moving in their own callings, in their own directions.  I'm unspeakably proud, but admittedly, my heart breaks too, to let them go.  I don't know how I could even try to do this without the knowledge that they are safe and secure in my loving Father's hands even as I am.

When our son signed up for the Coast Guard, Laurie told me she felt like she'd been punched in the stomach.  Every age has its challenges, doesn't it?

Yes ... it's challenges, it's joys, and its sorrows.  Thank God, the joys usually outweigh everything else!
