What a wonderful writing today... Everything that you listed as profound frustrations visit me fairly often... The easiest and probably the simplest reaction of myself would be to say "I can't do anything about all of this it's just too widespread ..my gifts just won't go very far." Those feelings happen throughout life for many reasons and I learned a long time ago from The Sermon on the Mount that there was something to remember .. The disciples were always trying to tell Jesus where he should go and whom he should minister to... They also thought it was quite comical for him to hold out a few fishes and a few loaves of bread and offer them as a food for the thousands of people... But it happened... people were fed... And there even were left overs... We should never get to the place where we think we just don't have enough fish and bread to make a difference when all we need is a blessing.. faith ...and a smile....
Just wonderful, Elizabeth, and wonderfully quotable.
Love this - everything about it. Thanks for sharing E!!!!!
you make the Sun Shine in my heart
I really enjoyed this, Elizabeth. You’re a great writer!
Im sure I’m not the only one who’s wondering which way you insisted that the toilet paper rolled ha ha

What a beautiful tour you took us all on. What a joy to read. Full of surprises. Six months married? That's adorable. And I love Barry's comment.
It's all exactly what we need. Thanks.
