Collateral Beauty

 

 


I had allowed limitations to steal my joy. I allowed sorrow to rule the day and lost my way for a while. In this time of seeking solitude within a hopeless state, I learned something. 

Through the pain, I remembered how far I'd come. In my state of weakness, I found strength within the love of my family and my loving God. 

 
No longer do I ask why or when? Instead, I found abundant grace for the taking. No longer does frustration rule the day. 

 
I found contentment within this collateral beauty that has become my life. 

 
Nothing is our own. What we are and what we have is a precious and priceless gift. We know not what tomorrow brings. It is the now and how that matters. It is in who we choose to be and live that will be remembered and cherished by others. In this, our legacy is born.
