Well, today is the BIG day! Leslie and Megan begin their 2100-mile trek uphill and down along the Appalachian Trail. Our prayers, our love, our admiration are with you, Girls. Know you are constantly in our thoughts and hearts.
We know that God has great adventures for you and lots of opportunities to learn about yourselves, life, and Him!
I heard a great quote today, "Don't waste your troubles (pain)." We all have disappointments, pain, challenges, troubles -- adversity--that can make us "bitter or better". It is our choice whether we grow in character and become a better, more caring person or whether we feel sorry for ourselves and focus on the trouble, turning inward and not benefitting from the problems. What a waste of an opportunity!
What is your challenge today? I can guess that Leslie and Megan will be faced with pain in muscles and joints, hunger and thirst, perhaps cold, and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. My challenges today are nothing compared to those! If they can overcome, I can, too!
Blessings to all of you!
Mom
