LIFE GOES ON

At times it seems as though there is no way out of a situation.  The doors all remain closed, no windows are open, and an impasse is reached.  What now?  Do I panic, pout, pound the door down, pretend I don’t care?  I have tried all of these behaviors and none work very well.  What does bring some relief is the belief that growth and goodness come from every situation and to remember I am just in the middle of the story.  Eventually, faith wins out and I am able to see beyond the borders of my vision.  Life goes on, usually in ways that far surpass where I’ve been in the past. 

Today I will live in this present moment, trusting in the hope I don’t quite see yet.
