To Grow Wings From The Ashes Is In Our Nature

A close friend texted me this message a few minutes ago, as he was sharing with me his pain in witnessing the latest events in our nation’s life. Shortly thereafter, he then called me to reflect on the message.
 
The message touches my heart I am always strong in my faith life. Certainly we all go through pain and suffering, yet once we focus on the life of Christ, we then realize what awaits us all is the Resurrection. Christ has revolutionized the world with His Resurrection. If today our Motherland is in pain and suffering, these hurdles cannot be the reasons to give up on our dreams and aspirations. Thus, I listen to the message very keenly and agree with the spirit conveyed to me.
 
“To grow wings from the ashes is in our nature.”
