"To love means loving the unlovable.
To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable.
Faith means believing the unbelievable.
Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless."
- GILBERT K. CHESTERTON
This quote is a message for every holiday, every holy day, and every so-called "ordinary" day, as well as a touchstone for every day in the coming New Year.
May we love, forgive, believe, and hope no matter what. Into every dark day, may we bring light. Love and kindness too.
How we choose to respond to life each day matters more than we realize. So why not stretch to live our highest ideals and values?
Let's choose to use our gifts and to live with strength, beauty, courage, compassion, hope, joy, talent, imagination, reverence, wisdom, love, and faith.
Always,
Charlene
