The Connection

Wow, what an awesome day.  I could have wrapped it up in a package and given it as a present to the people I love the most.  I felt the energy of the Lord in every room I entered today.  At the Church, I met so many new people and hear so many new stories that I was overwhelmed with joy.  At my daughter's house I felt joy and love in our converstions and in our quiet times.

At the church, I heard a story of a lady that fell from a ladder whose life stopped that instant, but was just 15 minutes later resurrected.  I heard the story of people with jobs that had struggles and people without jobs that had no struggles at all.  This leads me to understand and hope for the life that we can all live that includes trusting and living in the minute and knowing that God will provide all that we need when we need it.

One of the greatest things my mother always proclaims in times of struggle was and still is, "This too shall pass."  What wisdom there is in those words.  What simplicity there is in those words.  We only have this minute.  The one before has passed us by and the one to come is yet to arrive.

Live in that thought.  I always remind myself that all that we do is connected to someone else.  Know that love is a circle.  It leaves from you and returns to you. Hope is a gift not to be wasted, but to be cherished and lived each and every minute of our lives.

Talk to you soon,    Eileen
