The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness. --Henry David Thoreau
Life's crises seem terrifying and endless when they are happening. As we reflect on these stressful periods, we begin to realize that they provide a chance for change and growth. We get a feeling of hope when we think back to past problems that seemed like mountains of despair at the time. Today, many of our mountains of fear are behind us. We have been able to climb these mountains in our lives even though we may have had to take different paths than we had planned.
Now we know that, with faith, we can meet every challenge - that we are given no obstacle we can't turn into an opportunity.
Today let me be willing to let my Higher Power lead me in an orderly direction
Through the grace and mercy of the God of my understanding,the constant ,everyday,striving to stay in the solution I am able to choose my emotions and gear them toward happiness ,freedom and joy. It is much work but when I shift my faith and will to my Higher Power,really get out of the way and let the work begin,I find peace and continued hope that I will continue to strive for being all my God intended me to be!! Obviously some days much harder than others!!Just for Today I continue to choose joy....
