I don't know what was so funny, but this picture always makes me happy. There is a light in their eyes that puts a smile on my face and the pride I feel in my two granddaughters fills my heart. In the center of every struggle, God has a way of dropping moments of love and peace into our situations. How sad it is when we look around and see people who do not have a support group. Or, people step back and away from those who love them.
When life becomes difficult, it is easy to question every thing that we have stood for. Our belief system is challenged by the pain we are experiencing. There is a difference in who we were and what we have become. So, adjusting to the new takes time and remembering what worked in our lives takes effort. Pushing oneself to reconnect after loss is a major challenge. Looking for something that makes us happy takes determination.
If you are struggling to find peace and need something beautiful in your life, and you do not have any children to hug on, try reading or watching music videos on Utube. I was introduced to the music of Terry MacAlmon lately and found his music videos. His piano instrumentals draw me to worship and I reconnect with Jesus Christ as I remember why I became a Christian.
Today I am at peace. Today I am able to allow His love to touch my life through those individuals who have chosen to love me and not allow me to stay in a place of isolation.
If you know someone who is isolating themselves, stay close and when the opportunity comes to love them, do so.
