As many as I love I … chasten
Rev. 3:19
I once saw a dark shadow resting on the bare side of a hill. Seeking its cause I saw a little cloud, bright as the light, floating in the clear blue above. Thus it is with our sorrow. It may be dark and cheerless here on earth; yet look above and you shall see it to be but a shadow of His brightness whose name is Love.

Today is all we are guaranteed and even that may not be a full day.
The shadow of reality is sometimes fleeting. Our Lord's love is a light on our hearts and souls. It is the warmth and bright ray of hope in our lives.
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Always Love The Details."
Thank you Jim - I needed that change of perspective. Life has thrown me a few curved balls as of late, and that has given me a welcome lift
