Thank you

I started this post a couple of weeks ago as I learned of trials and heartache of some friends and family.  It got me thinking about the situations we are put in and trials we have to go through.  How painful things sometimes are in our lives.  I have been very impressed as I have observed/read about some of these trials, and how a choice has been made to make the very best of a very hard situation.  I have been blessed and touched as I have watched trials turn into blessings.  All of us have trials in our lives, but not all of us make the best of those trials.  I hope to master this art someday.  Until then, I thank you and you (and others that I haven't mentioned) for blessing my life with your courage and examples of faith.  Thank you for sharing your little miracles.

Oh goodness! I guess I needed a good cry! Thank you for linking these blogs. As was mentioned in both blogs, good things can come from the most miserable trials - and a small thing that came is that one random Friday at midnight, a friend of a friend reads a blog, cries her eyes out, reconnects to the most important, precious things in life and is inspired to live better and love more. Thank you.
