Your Daily Joy: 3/24/11
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”
–Albert Schweitzer

This lights up my day!

How true that is. Many times our lights go out due to circumstances most often beyond our control. I am thankful that there are times when someone comes to rekindle that light within me.
I know that I have had that light out all to often over the years and it is usually my husband or a good friend who rekindles that light. I am so thankful for those moments. Because the darkenss is a tough place to be and to come out of it without help is almost impossible.
I hope that I can do for others what has been done for me and that I may rekindle the light for others. I enjoy more light filled days now that dark and that is a good and encouraging thing.
I am allowing people around me to help and I am open to allowing GOd to work in me and through me. I hope we can all help keep the light within each other lit.

I feel like my light has at the least been very dim this week. I had a really hard night Saturday-Sunday. I couldn’t sleep and I was restless. I went into flashbacks, and I have been exhausted emotionally and physically since. This morning, I had coffee with my best friend. You know, just being with Angie gave me my light back because I can just be me with her, and there is no judgment. Good and bad, she loves me no matter what. I thank God for her.

Sorry you had a tough weekend. I know flashbacks are hard. I still get them sometimes and wake up in a cold sweat. I just am grateful that I have a wonderful husband who is there, He doesn’t say a lot most of the time but he does listen. He knows he can’t fix it but he will just hold me and pray for me. SOmetimes that is enough.
It is hard for people who haven’t been there to understand and it is great when we have a friend that allows us to truly be ourselves. My husband has become my best friend and I can just be myself with him and say what I feel, He sees what God sees and loves me through it, I am glad you have a friend that you can be free with, it helps a lot to be able to just be you sometimes without worrying about what people think. know you can vent on me anytime.

Thx… I may just take you up on that sometime, not the venting, but talking some things out. I would really appreciate that ;O)
