A terrible tragedy occured in our community this past weekend, and its left everyone feeling a little lost and heartbroken for the affected family. At the same time, so much of the community has come together to help this family. Thank goodness in times of devastation for some, others come forward with genorosity and kindness.
A friend of mine, in reference to what happened this week, posted this quote on Facebook this week. And since I read it, I've been thinking about it over and over.
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
- Melody Beattie
We must always be reminded of what we have, and what we could lose at any given moment. Life is a precious, fragile gift.
