I know a lot of you are going through tough times … where your strength and spirit and inner resolve are pushed to the limit. It happens to all of us. We need to know —- we are not alone. Yet there are times when we feel alone. You may not have the time right now … but —– take a few moments sometime today. Look inside the very heart-and-soul of who you are. There is a “toolbox” in there. We can call it by many names: our heartsong, our spirit, our soul. It often gets buried when times are tough, and our day is too cluttered. But — it’s there. In our “toolbox” are some of the intangible things in life: like grace, and love, and courage, and patience. Maybe a dose of forgiveness, or a word of comfort. In our toolbox is the spirit of a humble carpenter. Many of us call him Jesus. But even those who may not “know” him … they can be nourshed by his universal invitation to love and care for each other. I pray everyday … that each of us may find peace and hope in the midst of all the “stuff” we have to face. I am so grateful we are in this “JOURNEY CALLED LFE” together. Don
