I love watching the snow fall and pile up beautifully on the tree branches and fence posts. It even looks nice on the street and vehicles. Then I have to go out and deal with it. I can remember spending countless hours sled riding, having snowball fights, and building snowmen (or women). Then mom would fix us hot chocolate or cocoa about mid-morning and tomato soup and grill cheese for lunch. Those were the good old days, ones in which there was less care and worry.
I seemed to have lost sight of that joy and excitement as I immersed myself in this thing called life. I searched far and wide for the component that would once again make me content with with the small things in life like playing in the snow. I turned over many rocks and looked far and wide only to discover that the solution to why I struggle for so many years had actually been with me the whole time. That gift that I was born with is called grace and the best way for it to envelope my life was for me to simply step aside and watch the miracle happen.
I believe all of us are rescued from our tumultuous or not-so tumultuous lives by a phenomenon called grace. Without belaboring you with too much spiritual information, I think its appropriate to say that grace picks up where the human spirit leaves off. What I am saying is that, just we the human being has had far too much of life and all its challenges and thinks there is no solution for their dilemma, the force that guides all steps in and bestows grace on the individual. This is why I am so passionate about spiritual principles as the backbone of human existence. I have been save by grace on more that one occasion and would like to let those who are of the hopeless variety know that your miracle is right around the corner. You must have willingness and commitment to change.
When grace was bestowed on me, I could once again find peace and contentment with life.
