From The Desk of Susan and Bentley ~ Weathering the Storms

We all experience the storms of life.  No one gets a free pass.  Some storms are

quick and fleeting.  The car breaks down.  The water heater needs to be replaced.

Annoyances that come at inappropriate times yet can be handled.

Sometimes those annoyances come marching into our lives one after

another.  That's the moment when we may raise our hands up to the heavens

and ask ...

Why Me???

Yet, we still live through those moments and they are quickly forgotten by most

of us, yet some of us hang onto them like badges of valor.  

Larger storms may loom over the horizon.  The loss of a home to fire or flood.

These storms may bring seemingly unbearable heartache.  The loss of 

a loved one.  The worst of which I believe is the loss of a child.

Yet no matter how devastating that storm may be, we live on even

when we wish we could not.  How do we face a new day after the

sorrow?  

We reach out to others.  We realize that the trials we live through are

universal.   We step out of our egos and reach out a hand to one in need.

A kind word to someone who is lonely or depressed.  A home cooked meal

delivered to an elderly shut in.  Mentoring a troubled child.  There is always

someone else who is weathering a storm too. Trust me on this and give it a

try when the storms become too violent.  You may very well see that ray of

sunshine that will give you the courage to face a new day.

Wishing you all clear sailing and a lovely day ahead.
