A New Year

I have always found that the quietest morning of the year is the first day of the year.

Everyone sleeps a little later in the morning.

Add a little rain and maybe they don't leave the bed at all.

It was raining a baptismal rain this morning as if washing away all that was 2013, making everything new again for the new year.

May 2014 be a year of peace and joy for you and yours.  May sun always follow rain.  May you always remember that suffering is not a test of strength or of faith.  If it's a test of anything, it's a test of sight, a test of recognition.

Can you see you are not alone?

Can you feel God's hand in your own?

May you find rest and love always in God's arms.
