You mustn’t wish for another life.

You mustn’t want to be somebody else.

What you must do is this:

“Rejoice evermore.

Pray without ceasing.

In everything give thanks.”

I am not all the way capable of so much, but those are the right instructions.

— Wendell Berry

Your picture is wonderful!

So many times in my life I have said thank you to my Lord while crying so hard that I could not breathe. Right now I am in one of those places with an adult child. I so. get it.

  Yes – saying thank you and crying at the same time. (A skill I wish I wasn’t perfecting.)
  
  And – I am saddened to hear about struggles with your adult children. Parenting. It’s a forever job.

Such simple instructions…..
And so very hard to accomplish.

God help us.
