Reason for it all...


Alison Krauss is a favorite artist of mine.  Her soul-filled, bluegrass music reaches deep places within me and fills me with awe.  Her ability to play multiple instruments, her band members whose voices blend so perfectly, and her voice....the sweet, raspy, gives me goose bumps every time, gift from God.

This past couple of weeks have been filled with challenges.

Another divorce announcement...

A child diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes....

Another cancer diagnosis....

A man lost too soon....

It's easy to get lost in the grief, the anger, the frustration, and the pain.

But....

There have also been joys.

A new life brought into this crazy world....

A few weddings, where new families are created...

A trip of a life-time being taken by two well-deserving people....

A new puppy, given a loving home....


We have joys to balance the sorrows.


We just have to look.
Keep the faith.
Persevere.

One of my favorites of Alison's is below.  Please take a minute to listen...

It reminds me...
