Faith

Start with a prayer.

When a situation is out of your control.  Pray for patience.  Pray for acceptance.  Pray for peace.

End with a prayer.


Have faith that things will work out exactly that way they are supposed to.  Don't they always?  Perhaps you don't see it at the time, but what's meant to be, will be.  And each time we're faced with a situation it doesn't get easier, it does become more familiar.

When I remember that great basilica in Barcelona that has been under construction since 1882.  And the person in charge died when it was only 25% complete.  And somehow the work continued.  It is a labor of love, patience and perseverance.  Even when the work became difficult, they carried on.

The torch has moved from person to person over the years, and still the work continued.  Antoni Gaudi was not considered a failure because he didn't complete the work.  He was considered the originator.  The one who inspired others to continue to the work.

The work was hard.  It was intense.  And yet it continued.

He had faith.

He likely said a lot of prayers.

Looking at those beautiful stained glass windows, I too, believe that it will all work out.

I have faith.
