Wonderful thoughts. We're blessed to have two of our four children with their partners visiting with us in London. I see and acknowledge all the headwinds you cite. This said, I agree it is time to let the arrival of spring allow us to find a better mindset each day vs the previous day. Here's to moving forward and finding the path, where ever we are on the planet.
I enjoyed reading this uplifting and touching piece—especially the line, “I reflected on those things that were closest to me, the things that were within my control, and in truth, the things that affect me the most, not the failures of nations or of their people.”
We do have a choice to be happy and grateful—even when the world news is scary. Yes, scary.
Today, I will reflect on these messages and focus on what is most important. Perhaps if we all did, the world would become or feel less scary.
Welcome back Joel. Your pastoral view is most appreciated on this day, and a reminder that while we may worry and get discouraged in a world gone wrong - we need to take time to appreciate all of the good in our lives. Love our families and loved ones, try to set a good example, and do the best we can. Have a blessed Good Friday and a Happy Easter to you and your loved ones. 🙏
