God has given me the grace to see some of the seeds that I have sown bear good fruit, and I am so grateful.

Remember who you are and whose you are.

I find that when I am involved in the business of life, when I'm working with people, particularly with children, I feel better. A kind of strength and energy comes with that.

I try to make sense of life. I try to keep myself open to people and to laughter and to love and to have faith.

I know that suffering gives us new perspectives and helps us to clarify our real value. I know that suffering has helped me to clarify my relationships ... Perhaps suffering stops us in our tracks and forces us to confront what is real within ourselves and in our environment.

I know that God is using me in ways beyond my comprehension.
