But, when I look around me, when I'm out and about? I get overwhelmed by all that's not so beautiful. You always have good reminders here of the opposite: that there is beauty, and we just need to pay attention. This is not my gift. (I'm not just a glass-half-empty kind of girl, but a who-drank-out-of-my-glass?! kind of girl :P ) Anyway, thank you for being such a light here.

You Donna are a blessing to me and I imagine everyone here in the QL comment section along with your other friends and your family. <br /><br />Reading about joys and tears reminded me of my devotion today which is about the Beatitudes. I especially liked the last two short paragraphs:<br /><br />"How do we find happiness in being poor and hungry and outcast? Look at the Beatitudes as a parable--a word-play parable. We are poor in spirit, but find joy and riches in God's word. We are hungry, but find strength and nourishment in God. We weep now, but compared to God's love our sorrow is transient<br /><br />The Beatitudes, with all the do's and don'ts, lead to one spirit-stirring fact: We are dependent upon God and His love and blessings, and our constant desire to become one with him.

And blessings. : )<br />Btw, ever since you posted Elton John's Blessed song Sophia and I listen to it almost daily. It's been added to our playlist. Sometimes when we are singing together I get all emotional and have to fight back the tears. <br /><br />Ya know I was in a cranky mood before I came here today. BUT, now my attitude is changed. I will make this a fine day.

Your kindness and the community here at QL ...Donna,<br />Your kindness and the community here at QL both are gifts. I cry all the time reading the quotes you put up and the beautiful imagery. Yesterday I was crying because my son graduates from boot camp this week. I'm so happy for him and relieved--but this has been a challenging journey and I'm not sure what is ahead. I'm never very good with endings or beginnings. Coming here is a comfort.<br /><br />hmbalison Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156592992895592474noreply@blogger.com
