I am amazed at the courage that is lived-out in front of me every day.
For some, it is facing a new day of pain, taking it head on, taking the first step, and putting one foot in front of the other until another day is well-used.
For others, it’s building another relationship after a painful ending. Or asking for help after a humbling mistake.
Could be deciding to quiet the discouraging voice that has been dragging you down.
What about the internal forward motion it takes to take risks that others find easy?
To rise in the night for years in a row to comfort a child.
To face a new pregnancy after struggling through the last one.
To answer the fiftieth question if a small person, with patience and kindness.
To say “I am sorry” or “please forgive me” when personal pride is at stake.
I see you showing a great deal of courage in your every day challenges. I am humbled and inspired and encouraged to have more grit and fortitude myself.
You are a tremendous force for good!
Thank you.
Love,
Jacque
