Growth can be painful

"The Props, assist the House
Until the House is built
And then the props withdraw
And adequate, erect,
The House supports itself
And ceases to recollect
The Augur and the Carpenter ---
Just such a retrospect
Hath the perfect Life ---
A past of Plank and Nail
And sloweness -- then the Scaffolds drop
Affirming it a Soul."
Emily Dickinson

I am confused but not unaware that this journey is in the hands of my LORD.  Painful though today's lesson is I shall not loose sight of the goal. 

"However rare true love is, true friendship is rarer [still]."  Francois da Rochefoncauld

I reached out the hand of true friendship and allowed, though only for a moment, a meeting of two souls.  Heal the hearts of your wounded creation LORD.

Yours always,

Elizabeth Antonnette
