Many years ago, while I was driving home from a doctor’s appointment I heard God speak to my heart. The words forever changed my understanding of my place in this world. I had been battling chronic pain and health issues and refused to continue on a medication that just left me feeling not like myself. I was having a real conversation with God. I was frustrated and realized how easily so many people fall into reliance upon medication that doesn’t necessarily bring about a solution, but only numbness. I remember yelling out to God, “Why do people even consider this choice that could potentially lead to addiction and even more problems in life?” God gently spoke words that resonated with every part of me. “They do not know what to do with their pain.”

 In the months since becoming a widow, there have been many adjustments. Some are small in comparison to the larger parts of life such as making financial decisions alone or being a single parent. Some adjustments are felt in the day to day routines which become those quick moments that stop me in my tracks such as realizing I do not know where he kept extra furnace filters.
 It is almost Christmas time. If we pause and look around we see magic. We see lights and decorations. We see generosity. There are so many things to be thankful for. The holiday season can elicit such positive emotions and those feel good moments deep in your soul.
