At times it seems life

gives us situations that

are like a huge mountain to climb

We look from the bottom 

and don't even know the path

to the top

We don't know if we have the

energy or motivation

to start the walk

We look within ourselves first

We know the strength and

love of God is in us

We now know the way

We can see the path

So, we start out

Sometimes there are road blocks

but we keep going

Sometimes we make a detour

but then we get back on the path

If we are wise we will see beauty

on the way, and notice the flowers

 sun, moon, and the

wonderful gifts given to us by God

Oh yes,at times there are also

people who help us on the way

We thank God for them

At times it will be very steep

but then it will level off for a while

Then we finally make it to the top!

Oh what a feeling!

We have this wonderful joy!

The dance of knowing we

not only survived, but

learned many things on the way

and feel so connected and grateful to God!

But, now we must go down the mountain to

to go back to our home and live what we have

learned until we have another mountain to climb
