REFLECTIONS ...... THIS IS WRITTEN TO ANYBODY.....NOT JUST RSD/CRPS PERSONS

This past week as I was going through some old papers, I found a letter that was written to me from my Mother. This letter had to have been written over 40 years ago.  Do you have any idea as to how my heart pounded with joy as I read and reflected on my relationship with my Mother?  It was awesome.  And, as I reviewed more in this very old box of old papers, I found a note from my Daughter when she was so young that she could only print in a very large size. Again, my heart leaped and pounded in Joy! 
It brought to mind how precious those ties are and how time gets in our way for reflecting what is truly important in life.  Because, tomorrow just might change what we hold dear today in some way. 
                    
As I reflected on this past week as to how many hearts were broken and still are, it opens up an abundance of awareness as to how we take so many things for granted every day of our lives.

In today's world, we are so caught up in so many 'things' and I don't think that there are too many that are exempted from this.  It has become a way of life in these times. 

When our dreams come true and our plans prove successful, we find it easy to thank our Creator and easy to trust His divine providence.  But in times of sorrow or hardship, we may find ourselves questioning God's plans for our lives. 

From the events that unfolded this past week in Boston, so many people in the world are confronting these circumstances to the very core of their souls.  It is during these difficult days that we must find the wisdom and the courage to trust.  In spite of these circumstances, there is purpose and a hope for people to change and 'good' come from what has been sent their/our way. 

I live with the view that one's faith and religious activities are very personal and one to be left to each individual.  However, this weekend a pastor concluded his sermon in this way. 
I feel it is a good way to conclude my sharing today with his words.

As we all go through testing and trials in our everyday life and living.......JUST REMEMBER,
IN A CLASS ROOM OF STUDENTS TAKING AN EXAM, THE TEACHER IS SILENT.

Until next time, God Bless
