PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — This week, we encountered more examples of how our actions can scatter the darkness before us. It’s how we celebrate life — sometimes against the odds — with what are often two diametrically opposed forces: resolve and grace.
To overcome is our daily mission, even if it takes five months. It’s how we appreciate the treasure of new life in all its fragility.
But we grow up and accept work as the path to achievement, nature will often show us how. We can remove the weeds that choke our future and obscure the past.
This week, we also saw dogged determination to gather branches from a family tree that had fallen over time, and replant them to bloom in a mother’s heart.
It is that love that fosters mercy, so we may care for those who can’t speak for themselves. It comes back to those forces, grace and resolve, working as one. They let us hear the voice in our soul, so we may light the way.
