Joining In ....

Tonight we've joined families across Canada who have placed their hockey sticks outside their front door. Ours are now resting on our front veranda. A small gesture to show that we support those who are mourning and those who are healing. This has gone viral and we've posted our pictures on FB and Instagram to join in. It won't heal everything but it's one small way to reach out and show we care. I hope the families affected will see all the photos and know they are not alone in their journey. #hbstrong

 

No Words ....

.... just love and blessings for all affected ....

There Are No Words.

And then, a Miracle!

I wrote yesterday about my aching heart. 

A heart full of grief and disbelief.

Too many deaths in such a short time.

Wishing for a more peaceful world.

And then today, just when it felt so hopeless,

an incredible note came to me on Facebook.

A beautiful picture of a little girl from our school.

She attended our program for over two years.

Now in kindergarten, she has always been full of life.

This summer, that all changed with a diagnosis of cancer.

Today, she received the news that after months of brutal

and harsh treatment, she is now totally cancer free!

Miracles do exist. When we least expect them,

they pop into our lives, providing hope that even

in the midst of trying to understand great tragedy,

if we believe that life can change, peace can return.

Thankful tonight for this glimmer of hope!!
