Surviving the Chaos

Have you thought about what it means to survive? It seems in our family we are always surviving some crisis...we outrun the pain of whatever the event is and go on in spite of our disappointment, sickness, loss, pain, etc. We are a family of mostly women. Our men are definitely in the minority...in fact the loss of our men, at least in this family, is one of the areas we are good at surviving in spite of!

Strong women...Women of strength...What do we put our faith in if not the day to day dealings that are precarious at best? I put my faith in God and have seen through the years that God is good and always faithful. He gives me place to rest when I am very weary. And there seem to be so many of those times. What do you, other women in my family or my women friends, put your faith in to help get you through?

Sharing our strenghts and our sorrows gets us all through another day...it is in the sharing of our hopes and dreams, our hurts and our pain, that we all gain notes of songs to push aside the tears of distress...
