Even So

I had my blog planned out for this evening and then my friend Dawne shared this awesome message with me today. (Thank you so much Dawne!) So I will post the blog I had planned on writing another night and instead I will share the following with you all.  My hope is that you are inspired by it as much as I was. It is short, simple, beautiful, truthful, and sums up everything my whole being believes. It is titled, Even so......

Some days it may seem that your actions are not very effective. Even so, the best thing you can do is to keep doing all you can.

Sometimes it may feel that although you care deeply about the world, the world does not care much about you. Even so, it is much better that you continue to care.

There will be times when you give all you have, and end up with nothing to show for it. Keep giving though, for the rewards are surely there, even if they are too profound for you to see just yet.

The disappointments may sometimes be so painful that you feel like giving up. Remember though, it is your caring that makes the disappointment possible, and that very same caring will pull you up and push you forward.

Though you may be reluctant to admit it, you can make any situation into a valuable, successful experience. You can live with love, joy and fulfillment even when everything seems to be pushing against you.

The circumstances of this moment may not feel particularly desirable. Even so, there is a beautiful treasure that's yours to give, and yours to live in this very place, on this very day.

God gives us HOPE when there seems to be none. ~ Your friend, Lib
