We talk about the “circle of life” as the inevitable path we follow in this world. We are born, grow, thrive, age, and die. But, all of us have experienced that circle being skewed by circumstances or illness, or some unexpected tragedy that defies the norm, and we shake our heads and pray for understanding.
Our family is caught in that dilemma now as a dear life, shortened and puzzling send us struggling to accept a broken circle. Our prayers are more pleas for understanding. Our minds are full of fears as to our own vulnerability. Our hearts bleed in love for a mother saying “This can’t be true!”
This serves as a reminder for all of us to appreciate our life’s circle, and remember that a circle really doesn’t have an end!! Round and round it goes and never ends! Thanks be to God.
