Time for us to share a SPARK. What exactly IS this Monday SPARK thing we do? Well, most of you know that Annie of McGuffy’s Reader – who started SPARKS – was hacked and has been on an extended break from blogging although her idea to spread some inspiration on Monday of every week goes on. Many of us who participated in her SPARKS Blog Hop and found value in sharing a thought on Monday continue doing that to hopefully give each other a “Monday boost” – perhaps something to think about to inspire us in the week ahead OR help us deal with something that’s on our mind. Why not join us by sharing something that SPARKS you? It might just start a spark in us too.
I’ve been hearing a lot of people say “have faith” since the pandemic hit the streets………….faith is something that I think most people have a personal idea of. Faith applies to different people in different ways. AND it’s not JUST a religious thing either. It’s an “across the board” thing. So I looked for a good quote that works FOR ME. Maybe you will feel it too.
This isn’t the only saying that touched me but it was probably my favorite. I have always had faith even in the worst of times for me personally. I just KNEW things would change for the better and they always have. Not as quickly perhaps as I wanted them to but we can’t expect everything to just COME TO US when we want it. Sometimes we have to work at it or try harder or adjust our goals, etc.
I do have faith that this pandemic will eventually run its’ course…………in the meantime I have faith that the things my husband and I are doing to stay safe will continue to reward us with keeping our health. We haven’t come this far in life to just throw caution to the wind! But we have FAITH that we will weather the storm.
I hope the same for all of you!!!

I have a lot of Faith. Rather as you mentioned; sometimes what we feel we need isn’t always immediately forthcoming or indeed we do have to adjust our goal or expectation as sometimes, we isn’t realistic. However, what we adjust to is what we needed after all.

It proves that our having had faith it would work out was EXACTLY what was right…..we most often get what we NEED – maybe not what we WANT.

Pam, I think this Spark gets an A+, and I am going to try to remind myself of it everyday. I was having one of those really, really down days yesterday, and this is just what I needed to perk myself up. Thank you! Much love and virtual hugs. I sure do miss hugging. XOXO, Janet

I miss hugging too – it’s very hard sometimes not to reach out and hug someone. Virtual hugs will just have to do for a while longer! Glad you like the SPARK – it sure is true about faith. I’m glad it gave you a SPARK 😉
