Yes, we mustn't be collapsed by life. It's more urgent than ever that we take note of everything that is beautiful

Profound and helpful as ever. Overwhelming bad news in our lives this morning, but no more to lose - I’m looking at all that’s good and am hopeful and blessed. Thank you, Gideon - a friend I’ve never met x

Ooohhh, YES! We get to choose where we put our focus, thank God. What we focus in determines what we miss, and I don't want to miss the bravery of life.

Poignant words Gideon. And very helpful in these times when I tend to enable the news to saturate my being. I’m going to sit at a lakefront today and heed your advice. Thank you!
