IMG_1111It has been a challenging time in our country. People are not getting along, there are challenges to moral and ethical understandings. It is tough to keep the faith and be strong when facing some of these challenges.

It can be especially important in the trying times to consider the blessings we have in our lives. It may seem simple, but it can remind us that for every negative thing in the world and in our lives, there are many blessings we have been given.

If you are struggling, take a deep breath, open your heart and let the waves of blessing wash you.
