TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE



"Each experience, each frustration, each situation, has its own truth waiting to be revealed. Don't give up until you find it - for yourself."

                             ~ Melody Beattie

Each illness too. As well as each triumph, each healing, each joy.

Joyful activities can remind us to do more of what we love. Painful ones can sometimes remind us "to thine own self be true" and lead us back to authenticity as we realize what does not feed our souls. 

When I struggle to find the gift in a situation, I often think of biblical Jacob wrestling with the angel, not letting go until the angel gives Jacob the blessing.

Instead of wrestling with the angel (even though I may indeed be wrestling with the situation) I like to imagine myself embracing an angel as I hold on, waiting to realize the blessing, the gift, I need to see.  


May we pause, listen, and learn a beautiful, soul-enriching truth from one of our experiences this day. 

Join me in looking forward to a beautiful ah-ha.

With faith,
Charlene
