"It's what we trust in but don't yet see that keeps us going." [2 Corinthians 5:7]



For my Facebook buddies, this will be YET another repeat read... HOWEVER, I promise to post NEW entries very soon. :) Sometimes we need the "oldies but goodies." They bring insight relative to who and where we are... HERE and NOW.

[See picture above] These are the hands of a man who is blind (I keep a framed copy of the picture in my office at work). His passion, perseverance, and determination to complete a masterpiece of his own (on his own) was an awe-inspiring process to observe. With intense concentration and radiant joy, this patient (who makes my heart smile on a daily basis) spent an hour painting his coffee mug a brilliant shade of red... never resting... never asking for assistance... never complaining. In the words of wisdom shared by my mom, "He may be without sight, but he is not without vision." What a beautiful reminder.

The challenge ~ Follow your heart. Acknowledge, honor and recognize your dreams, your visions ~ and start painting your future. Remember, "It's what we trust in but don't yet see that keeps us going."
