CONTROL

One of the hardest lessons in life is realizing we are not in control no matter how hard we try.
Right now the world around us has been shaken as the dollar drops and the stock-market fails.
Where is our security?

We talk about World War 1 and 2 as the war to end all wars.
Where is our peace?

We do all the right thinks to be healthy, we try to eat right and to exercise and to think positive, and illness comes and we have to slow down and admit we are getting weaker.
Where is our health?

We believe in love and faith that strengthens the soul yet we realize how vulnerable we really are as we struggle to see life not as a rocky road but as stepping stones for us to conquer.
What is sacred and by that I mean what is safe?

Tears come into our eyes at unexpedted moments. As I gave my talk at the United Church Women's Rally I was going to say I thought mom would be proud of me, but I could not put this into words. Each of us carry within us a deep well of emotions that we try to bury yet at times they come to the surface.
Where is the unconditional love that frees us from guilt and failure?

We have been invited to a banquet that feeds the soul and strengthens the heart and renews our courage.
When will we accept the invitation to life that is abundant and free
healing the past and lifting us to the mountain to see the amazing beauty spread all around us!
