One day,
he looked around
and didn’t recognize
the altered ground
he stood on.

Courage
The courage to say yes.
The courage to try.
The courage to show up.
The courage to give it your might.
Never lost
Believe in God

The Miracle of the Lost Key
Yesterday I woke up 187 miles away from home. I had been visiting my sister, MZ, since Thursday and this was my final morning on my mini-vacation. Originally, I planned on going to the airport with my sister to pick up my niece Lyn before heading out. But I didn’t sleep very well and opted to stay at her place and catch a little extra shut-eye before making the almost 3 hour drive. On a rainy/snowy day. Up into the Wyoming mountains.
The Race
If life were a race for us to run
we have tools to guide us to victory:
Faith is believing there is a finish line
even though hidden from what we see.
Hope is trusting we will cross the finish line
even though we may be weary.
Charity is ensuring when we cross the line
we have plenty of company.

In Hindsight…
Somewhere, sometime in my younger days I had a lesson on talents. I can’t remember the exact setting. I might have been in the end of my Young Women’s era or in the first days of my institute years. It was, however, definitely a church-oriented message. The gist of it entailed me praying earnestly for the gift or talent I most wanted in life.
We all have certain gifts already given to us. But if we apply ourselves and pray with pure sincerity, we can acquire more talents. I took it to heart. I came home, knelt by my bed and prayed one of the most heartfelt prayers I have ever uttered.
Faith. Hope. Love.
Faith
Believe
Totally
What is hoped for
But you cannot see
Still you believe
Zealously
It is
True
