“You can only come to the morning through the shadows.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
I was remembering as I gathered in my small group tonight where I was approximately a year ago both geographically and spiritually. I was in Singapore with my friend Celeste at a Corrinne May concert. My life in some ways felt like it was in shambles. I was so unhappy on many fronts. Tonight though I see that I have moved through that dark shadow and found the sunshine that awaited me. I remember after the concert asking if there was reconciliation that week at the church but the date it was, I was going to be leaving for Bali. The priest happily said he would see me right then. Perhaps that was the beginning of my gratitude. He saved my life spiritually and helped break the bonds that held me.
I told my group that I currently feel an abundance of blessings in my life and am so grateful that I am not in the same place as I was. God has moved me beyond the dark night to the morning light. How can I be anything but humbly appreciative?
Peace,
Suzanne
