My eyes peeked open. The sun was rising in all her glory, urging me to peel back the covers and get moving.
I managed my usual morning routine, but today with an extra bounce in my step. So much has happened over the last two years. Too much to squeeze into a few measly paragraphs but, I am learning to examine life with new eyes — to see the silver lining buried between the layers of darkness.
Today is a new day. It washed over my soul, this overflowing wave of gratitude as I said a prayer of deep-felt thanksgiving…
Grateful to be alive.
Grateful for a renewed sense of hope.
Grateful to be where I am.
Right here.
Right now.
As I opened my book, the words of Bonhoeffer sank in deep. . .
“There is meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler.” {<=====Click to Tweet}
Like glue, these words attached themselves to my soul.
Just maybe, I am beginning to really understand this.
A little better.
A little deeper.
A little more profoundly.
The days roll on and the years pass by. The harshness of life threatens to beat us down and swallow our dreams. There are days that feel impossible. Days that seem hopeless. Days that seem like they will never end. On those days when you need a reminder, remember this:
Celebrate today. Let go and enjoy the wild ride! {<=====Click to Tweet}
Don’t throw in the towel. There will always be dark days. There will always be perilous days. But for those, I am most grateful, for they make the good days seem all the more sweeter. All the more real. All the more life-giving.
I love these words from Mother Teresa, because they remind me that life is too short to be wasted. Embrace it wherever you are at, today.
“Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”
—Mother Teresa

Love this! It is beautifully spoken! There are days when I wake up to that renewed sense of hope and then there are days like today that I wake up to an upset stomach. It’s all good though because even when things don’t go the way you want them to, God is still in heaven and He still can and does use us for His glory.
