For Sara….

Thank you.

I have been blessed.

No moment from God is a rock of burden, it’s just a rock waiting to be broken apart into stepping stones.

Hi Stacey, I thought I would share something that I wrote about Sara with you. I hope you don’t mind.

Yesterday when I found out Sara (gitzengirl.blogspot.com) was dying, my heart ached. I can’t remember the last time my heart ached like that. I was one of the many people that was touched by Sara’s writing.

This is the first time in a long time my heart is filled with sorrow, but at the same time filled with joy. I am so saddened that Sara won’t be with is here on Earth much longer, but I am brimming with joy over the fact that the moment Sara leaves this Earth, she will be doing cartwheels through the gates of Heaven. And God will say to her, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

It’s hard to be joyful in the face of difficult circumstances, but Sara showed everyone that even through difficult times, you CAN choose joy. Having a chronic illness, being in constant pain, not being able to leave your home and still choosing joy? That’s Sara. And that’s why she has touched so many lives.

“Joy: the unwavering trust that God knows what He’s doing and has blessed me with the opportunity to be a part of it… not despite what’s happening in my life but because of it. When everything earthly feels heavy He gives me an internal lightness that can’t be touched.” – Sara Frankl
