Today's Gift
Today's Gift
Be strong and of good courage; be not frightened, neither be
dismayed.... --Joshua 1:9
It has been said when we are at the end of our rope, we can do one of
three things: let go, tie a knot and hang on, or splice the rope and begin
again. Whenever we feel there's nowhere to go but down and nobody to turn to,
that's when we can start all over again. If we can learn to look beyond the end
of something, we'll always see an exciting, fresh beginning.
At the end of every storm is calm. At the end of every argument is
silence. At the end of one relationship there is another. Although life is
composed of many endings, there are just as many new beginnings. "Life goes on"
is even assured by the passage of time - at the end of each minute there's
another.
Nights may have many endings, but they will also have just as many
beginnings. Just as the sun will set, so the moon will rise and the stars will
appear. Just as the day's activities will end, so the evening's activities will
begin. And when those activities are over, there will be new experiences the
next day.
I can be unafraid of endings because I know they are only the first
half of beginnings.
