Goodness lives
Life's most difficult moments teach us that we're stronger
than we know. It always pays to remember that.
When the worst happens, is when we have the opportunity to
be our best. When the challenges seem unbearable and hope is
a distant memory, a new and stronger hope is already taking
root.
Though events can terribly injure us and pull us a long way
down, nothing can rob us of the ability and desire to
connect with life's goodness. And so that goodness always,
in its own way, prevails, despite the unimaginable odds
against it.
For that goodness lives in our hearts, where we can always
keep it alive. And because we know how it feels so
completely right, that is what we do.
In the everyday moments, goodness lives. In the most joyful
times and during the darkest days, it becomes more deeply
entrenched and more personally meaningful.
We pause to remember all that has gone before, and look
ahead to the many possibilities that are now springing to
life. Through it all, underneath it all, we carry an abiding
goodness that we cannot be without.
