. Here is this week's message:
Dear Friends,
I think spring is finally here! Spring brings hope and happiness if we let it. Remember my globe willow tree that was caught up in a twister and wretched from the ground, snapped at the roots and flung into the corner of my back yard? My son cut the tree back and sawed the wood into logs, leaving a stump that he would later pull out. The stump never quite got hauled away, and now, nearly three years later, the tree is strong and growing again. It seems like a miracle that the tree could flourish after nature’s destruction! Nature often takes care of itself in that way. Have you been to Yellowstone Park following the massive forest fires wiped it out several years ago? It is fresh, beautiful, and new.
Every time a disaster enters our lives we need to remember that it may be a chance to start anew. We sometimes need a fresh start to learn and grow to be the best that we can be. A new grade assignment, a new school, a retirement, new students in the new year, new team members, a new idea: all make us better at what we do. Experience—new experience—is for our good. We can do hard things!
Whatever it takes, our kids are worth it! Have a great week. Do hard things. You are the best! Celebrate all the good things about spring!
