It's not everyday a big yellow CAT steam shovel is parked across the street, sitting idle. An angel nudge suggested to have fun and play, lighten up. So I climbed into the heavy metal clawed scooper for a photo op. Here's the big SCOOP. Surrender the ego. Changes in our environment usually reflect changes within. And, I didn't know the CAT brand stands for caterpillar. The lowly worm that transforms into a beautiful butterfly after many changes.
That's what we're going through...in transition to becoming greater than we can presently understand.
We can't control adversity, but we can control our reaction. It can either take us down, or lift us up, making us stronger in our spirit. Especially if we stop long enough to realize this has come to pass, not to stay. A spiritual gift, wrapped in a challenge, necessary for us to grow up in stature and become more like the indwelling Christ. 
Surrendering to what is brings quicker release. The Serenity Prayer. The good news: all things work together for good...that's where faith and trust come in...but we need help. The Holy Spirit is with us and so are the angels. Prayer opens the door.
That's why going deeper within we find a peace undisturbed by any earthshaking event. The eternal kingdom of heaven is within, not of this world. Thank you, God. This holy season draw closer to the Light within...to find peace in chaos, and to keep shining like the bright star you are. Lighten up your corner of the world with love, joy, and peace.
Dig deeper during this season of Light. The best is yet to be. God is Love.
