There, peeping above the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up and out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. J.R.R. Tolkien

She's a Teenager Today

Whitney Leigh would have been 13 today. Our first teenager.

Today, I'm just remembering so much. Pondering it in my heart. Seeing beauty from ashes.

I deleted everything else I had typed. Maybe it was just for me and God today.

    Love you Patti! I was praying for you a lot when I wasn't sleeping (and I wasn't sleeping much...)

It's always fun to get comments, but if you post anonymously, I don't know who you are! It would be super if you would leave your name.
