Gratitude Journal – Day 287 – April 15, 2015

Change….
is inevitable, sometimes for the best, sometimes not, but change always tests our spirit. As I look around the room this evening at friends from all walks of life, I realize that we all face challenges on a daily basis and are on the journey called life. And even though circumstances may be similar, we all travel on this journey differently based on who we are, what we believe and our life’s experiences.
We come to watering stations along our journey to help refresh us and give us strength to make it through the next leg of the journey. You’ll recognize the faces as they:
- cheer you on with a spirit lift
- give you water, the very essence of life
- offer you fruit, the energy your body needs to make it through to the end
And as we grow stronger, day by day we will find ourselves not only stopping at the watering station for strength, but manning the station to help others along in their journey. And thus the cycle begins for whatever we give with good intentions will come back to us ten-fold and even more.
Today I am grateful that as I walk through one of the most difficult journeys of my life missing myDarlin' Robert Kenui Pope, that God and our Ohana have been there for me at the watering station to give me strength to persevere. And just as it was given to me, I will pass it on to you my friend, as you travel this journey called life.
