Life has a habit of throwing you curveballs sometimes. Months and years down the road, you find yourself in the same places, only the people around you have changed. And you stop and think: Wait. Wasn't it just the other day that...? Seasons change but memories linger, neither bitter, neither sweet, yet somehow both.
It does seem somewhat odd to be walking down those halls, roads, places alone; You turn and hey, no one's there. Phantom conversations and laughter ring in your ears, expressions play before your mind's eye. Much to learn and cherish indeed, yet we musn't let these hold us back from moving forward.
The reality of life is that people do come and go. Some are more impactful than others. Some are harder to forget. Still, by God's grace we learn to accept whatever or whoever comes our way and in the process of learning -- find peace.
Thank you God for your gift of people. You touch us through them in so many ways; As we move through the seasons of life, you send different people to us, each bearing distinct fingerprints and whispers of your presence, each teaching us different lessons, each revealing to us sides of you which we never before could comprehend, and each showing us faces of your love.
And so you lead us forward into new light...
