Navigating Life's Storms

"This transcendent thought of God should ever be with us, and, like Jesus, we should walk over the waves of human disturbance rather than being submerged by them." Ernest Holmes

What an interesting perspective of Jesus walking on water at the Sea of Galilee.  We too can imitate him by navigating the storms of our own life better.  The terminal disease for which we are caregivers might be one such storm.  Let us do our caregiving with dignity, staying above the lesser ways of showing up.  There are other storms too.  I recently raised the question of cross country skiing on a municipal golf course during the winter, and I have been surprised by the maelstrom that question raised among the golfers -- who, although they cannot use the course covered with snow -- seem to feel they are the only rightful users.  In any stormy situation in life (and we will have them), we can choose graciousness, dignity, and to come from a place of love.
