All consuming

I've been thinking alot the last couple of days about the C word.  I stole the phrase from my wonderful daughters words.  It's amazing that this word can completely change your life.  It is all consuming.  Every thought - every move - every time you look anywhere - it's there.

My sister sent me the greatest message yesterday I want to share it with all of you - if you can get past the tears -it's awesome!  Thank you my dear sister! 

Yes, it feels like your world is spinning out of control and you are holding on by your fingernails at the end of this whipping and flying tempest being lashed from side to side.  Savor every moment - the good and the bad - they all serve a purpose on this journey.  The journey is the event - not what lies beyond the journey.  Don't wish to be down the road or a few weeks ahead - we sure do not know what the future brings - only God.  And we only know what today is  and we will celebrate this day and then we will celebrate tomorrow.  The journey is part of the significance of the event complete with its challenges, joy, fear, faith, growth, anger, new opportunities, family, old friends, new friends.  Savor the reflection, memories, and the amazement of what God is doing in your lives.

  1. That's an amazingly timely message...And We can all benefit from it too! Thanks for sharing it.. We're all in this together and learning and growing in ways we may never totally realize but as we carry the flame of caring & loving one another.. it makes me think of that phrase we've all heard "a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle"
