Don’t Quit.

So much of life is spent in some kind of ordeal. And if our hearts are honest, we grow from it. Sometimes it can be very painful. I don’t want anyone to hurt. But at whatever the cost, please let me grow. The more I do, the more aware I become of the beauty of life. And isn’t that the greatest realization – that there is nothing better than simply to be alive, breathing? To have  coffee and to sit by the window as rain falls outside? I foolishly measure my day by how big a thing is, in the news, in my surroundings, my plans. But the biggest surprise is the one that never fails at surprising me. I am just a needy child. But God Himself is patient with me, and good.
