It was finished. I had written an entry to post tonight but it just didn't seem timely. It's similar to times when I have someone on my mind so I check on them...and learn they needed someone to listen and care. Tonight is one of those moments.
I don't know who may read this. Maybe a few folks. Maybe even less. Maybe a few more. But it seems appropriate to simply share that this journey is tough...but we are never alone. Yes, there are lots of smiling faces around us...but there are also many breaking hearts behind them. Sure, there are wonderful moments to smile, laugh and celebrate. I love those moments! But it's also true that there are also moments that knock the breath out of us. Those are very real moments, too. I believe that we all face great moments....tough moments....and many moments somewhere in between. Life is a precious gift....but it isn't always easy.
Tonight I just want to share that there's not one moment on this journey that we are alone. That has brought me through some pretty challenging days over the years. I don't always understand this journey. I don't always like how things happen. I don't have answers to countless questions, either. Yet knowing that Someone cares, Someone listens, Someone understands and Someone holds me in His loving hands...makes all the difference.
I haven't written eloquently tonight. I haven't shared anything new or profound. Yet we all need an occasional reminder that we are never alone...and always loved. Tonight seemed like the time to reach out and say it again. Hold on...He truly cares. I am amazed. I am grateful. I am never alone.<3~thl
