God's Work

Sometimes...

even good and right things break your heart.

we have to be strong enough to do the right thing even though the wrong one seems easier.

tears of sadness find ones of happiness and thanksgiving mixed in to keep them company.

silence is easier than hanging up.

giving in to let God do His work is heartbreaking.

we just have to pray for patience to trust in His plan.

we realize the magnitude of a friendship and trust it to be unfailing.

the best thing we can do is take it one breath, one minute, one hour, one day at a time.

It takes a lot of work to make something beautiful -- like this flower.

A flower is temporary, just like beautiful things can be. We don't forget about the radiance of it after it's gone, though. We use our memories to build hope for the next beautiful flower.

And it comes. It just takes time. Until then, there's hope to cling to.
