Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Years ago, I found this keeper on-line. The image of the little mallard on the edge of a slippery water fall made an impression. He is bent on prayer watching a mad torrent of rushing water pass through his rubbery orange feet. He is not moved, but stands firm.
An angel caption came to mind. "This too shall pass."
It's comforting to remember that whatever we're dealing with today, it has come to pass, not to stay.

Change is the only constant. Everything in life is both coming and going like the rushing tides of the sea throughout time.
"This too shall pass," is a calming reminder not to get swept away in the world's drama. With the help of the Holy Spirit and the angels, we can find peace moment by moment. Peace not only for ourselves but for the world.
Feet represent dominion, where we place our feet is holy ground. So we can choose to stay centered by going within, and fully relying on God's loving guidance. We can stand firmly planted on the Truth, and not go over the waterfall. When our emotions begin to rise, we can try our best to let them roll of our back like water off a duck's back. And, like this humble blue-headed mallard, choose to stand still, and come up higher in prayer to let go and find peace in the midst of trials. But it's not always easy to do...that's where grace comes in. And there will be other opportunities to get it right.
As you go about your day, remember you are never alone. You have a guardian angel with you, always ready to love, protect, comfort, and direct your steps. The best is yet to be.
Love and joyful blessings,
