Noises in Life

Christmas is past and also past is a December family wedding. Now, it is back to posting regularly on Mondays and Wednesdays. To make up for my omissions last week, I'm posting today and will be back on schedule Monday.
The recent wedding meant sharing time with out of town friends and relatives. When we all gathered together, there was lots of fun and lots of noise. When little ones were present there was often loud crying as well as noises of glee. The time together made me realize my life as a writer is a quiet one. While sometimes I welcomed the change from the peacefulness, there were times when it was challenging. It made me think of a story from my book, Heaven Help Mom.
The story relays how two children view the noises in their lives very differently and the message learned was; "our life is often the product of the way we view it and chose to live it. A life centered in God can turn a devastating situation into a challenging proposition; a situation of fear into a positive approach; an episode of loneliness into an outreach to others." May the variety of noises in your life contribute to produce a symphony.
