As I read her little note, I was nestled by the Spirit. My pain diminished. A flow of hope poured from Heaven infused my heart with some spiritual stamina. And although this sweet little email didn't solve any problems or remove any obstacles, it did remind me that I'm not alone. God is watching, helping, listening, prompting, and even waiting. It made the day possible... and that was enough.

Spiritual Stamina
Saturday I awoke to profound despair. I often talk to myself but oftener it is more of an open prayer: informal, unstructured, and raw. I probably said aloud, "How can I possible do this today?" Minutes later, an email arrived from my mother. She reminisced and reminded of the annual picnics we had with extended family. She reminded us, my siblings and I, of the heritage we enjoy and the inheritance of joy awaiting us because of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
