It takes a lot to start over, especially when it is necessitated by dreams that were accomplished but have now gone up in smoke. It’s difficult to begin building again using only ashes as building blocks.
It is at this point that many cease to live, and only to exist. I can view tragedies in my life as sad endings, or look at them as new beginnings. In one of his books, Louis L'Amour said, “There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.”
May our Lord grant us grace, courage, fortitude and faith; and when all is gone, and nothing is left but an ash heap, to put up a sign on the charred remains, for all to read: BUSINESS TOMORROW AS USUAL.
