"When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we did not know we had."
~ A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
Especially when I faced cancer I found that I had reserves of strength and courage that were deeper, broader, and more expansive than I had known or imagined. It was almost like there were hidden pockets of these gifts in my being, and by having to go deep, I discovered them.
But it seems to me that the gift
that is most in hiding from many of us is inner beauty. Talent is another gift that many people say seems hidden from them. Do any of these gifts seem hidden from you?
Today, may we better recognize and appreciate that we have deep reserves of all gifts.
To symbolize this, consider taking a few minutes to play with finding hidden things. How long has it been since you searched for hidden objects in a larger picture? Was it in Highlights magazine? You
can print free pages at https://www.highlightskids.com/hidden-picturesToday, let's also aim to be childlike, full of wonder, with a strong sense of how wonderful we are!
Truly,
Charlene
