Flicker of HOPE

I recently received an e-mail from an avid reader of cookie-MOMster waiting patiently for my next blog. I wrote her back asking for ideas, I had none. My ideas have been frozen just like I have been. My inner candle is burning low and dim...not much light. I've had zero energy and zero creativity. It can be painful at times just trying to get one foot in front of the other to make it through daily life. Life's happenings can really kick the shit out of you. death, sickness, worry....
Wondering what plan does God truly have for us? No wonder my candle is almost out.....
Yet deep with-in I do believe God or spirit does have an almighty plan...death can come all too soon for our loved ones bringing us gut wrenching pain and grief yet deep with-in the sorrow we can feel HOPE that an Angel in heaven is up there just for us. sickness can come and take over our body yet it can not defeat our inner strength, we can reach inside our being and find HOPE to carry us on our journey ...worry can gobble our soul and take our laughter yet it will not bury our character as we take a deep breath and pray for HOPE to guide us through the stress.
And with the memory of September 11 I light a candle in silent HOPE to all remembered and say a prayer of thanks for it is because of them I am able to re-light my inner candle and bravely place one foot in front of the other to embrace another day believing there is a plan.

God Bless to all of you suffering and may you find your HOPE.
