Each day we have a choice on how to live our lives. We can choose to simply go through the motions of life, checking boxes from tooth-brushing to taxes-24 hours, followed by 24 hours, followed by another 24 hours. Or, we can be present in the life we have been given, feeling deeply as we see all colors, hear all music, and feel all the love God has placed around us. No one is more present in life than my sweet Brynna. Brynna is my best friend Darla's daughter-in-law, and is like another daughter to me. I have watched her from the time she started to date her husband, to the accomplished woman and mother she is today. Her husband, Austin, is a son to me and my attorney, and their three children are like my own grandchildren… she is FAMILY. And, she is very ill. I know prayer is the most powerful force on earth and part of that power comes when we pray for each other, unitedly. As challenges and struggles come upon us, and they will, let's help each other choose to see the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow from our lives. And always remember the strength we gain by helping to carry one another‘s burdens.
