Interesting... Talk about God working in mysterious ways. I started a post about my weekend, it started rough but ended great thanks to LN, Stefan, and Angie. Oddly enough, I was writing, feeling bad, and had written a fair amount about the bad part.... I lost the whole thing. I know, I know, the "non-believers" (lol) will say, "A computer glitch, Mel, does not constitute a message from God." Why not though?
Why can't God talk to us through little things that interrupt our thoughts and redirect us to what's important? LN made sure, against my initial resistence, that I had a wonderful family filled Easter. Stefan came to see me and he's happy and doing well. Angie wrote and I'll be able to talk to her soon. Blessings all, I'd say.
Everyone has heartache in life. Mine has overwhelmed me over the last year or so. I've not lost sight of my blessings though. I'm very aware of all that I have to be grateful for. It's time for me to refocus. Easter is about hope, about the resurrection of Christ, about the inability of the actions of man to overcome the will of God. We pray, some go to Church, and we recognize this holiday (holy day) but why not take it's meaning and history and apply it literally in life? Why not allow yourself to be filled with faith and courage? Can't today be the beginning of a new life? Can't everyday be a new beginning if we want it to be? We struggle, we slip and sometimes we fall but everyday that we're blessed to see a new sunrise is a day we can spend doing our best again.

Absolutely right dear. One can only rise up when you are at the ground (probably fallen to the ground). Everyday marks a beginning of a new battle. Some days you may lose, others, you may win. But winning is not everything. Hoping to win next day after a defeat is called courage and that's what matters.
