Let me rise with YOU...

How can I tell you my pains? 

Your wounds are unimaginable... 

How can I tell you how heavy my heart is? 

You have fallen many times carrying that cross.

How can I tell you I feel so helpless?

Your dearest friends have betrayed, denied and left  you.

How can I tell you I am weak and losing hope?

You have surrendered your last breath and trust everything to the Father.

How can I not forgive others and even myself?

You have begged the Father to forgive those who crucified You.

How can I not tell you anything...?

... but just "LET ME RISE WITH YOU..."

Unwinding the Past

Our past should not just be ended or forgotten... it should be unwound.  Starting anew everyday, is taking the courage to one by one recognize the gifts of the past as well as the challenges that we need to do better at.

The journey is a race, not against others, but against the weaknesses and limitations of ourselves.  It is not to

If The Love of God Blesses You... (Henri J. M. Nouwen, "Finding My Way Home")

If the love of God blesses you, you have the eyes to see the blessedness of others.

To whisper when others 

     are shouting;

To sleep when others 

     are restless;

To smile when others

     are angry;

To work when others

To pause when others

To pray when others

To think when others

To face turmoil when others

     yet feel composure;

To know inner calm

     inspite of everything -

This is the test of Serenity.

Not A Sad Thing...
