Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol II (2011 thru Aug)

A Wonder-Mail …
(05/06/2011)
“Hello ….. Just saying that makes me give such thanks.
It has been quite the roller coaster ride here and we are really able to take a
breath today and feel back to normal. There are so many around us who are still
transitioning but everyone is truly helping each other in such a great way. We
gave shelter to some friends for a couple of nights who were traveling and skipped
around and through the tornadoes all the way from OK to Mississippi to AL to us.
Their stories were amazing.
Many of our friends here still do not have power so we feel very lucky. And
of course we all know someone who lost family or their homes. I have made my
list “for next time” realizing at the same time that I do it, that it really will not
make any difference if the tornado, earthquake, etc. decides to land on us …
I think I may have told you about the debris picked up by the winds and
dropped all over the farm. One thing I found was a rain-soaked corner of an 8xll
piece of notebook paper with writing on it that looked like it might have been
written by a sixth grader. The words left on each line of the torn piece were:
“This gift is—-”,
“I believe….”,
“It comes…..”,
“I love….,”
“hope…”
Know that you are a gift in my life.”
