Praise be to God! Even in the moments that seem the darkest, Christ still brings light through the glory of his Resurrection! This week among all the strife is a good week to sit outside and take in the beauty of creation. One day this week, wake up before sunrise and sit outside or find a window and watch the sunrise. Take a journal or a piece of paper and write some of the ways that your have been blessed.
