I Have Your Back

"A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.”
Chinese Proverb

Everyone I know right now is going through some kind of trial. The more I think about what is happening to friends and family and random people around the world, the more I think of how important it is to tell people you love them. There never has been a more important time for people to be kind, to give service to each other, even if it's just a smile. You never know the effect you will have on another human being, but I am also a big believer that when you know people have your back, you can get through anything. So to those out there who want to know; those who are my friends and family, I HAVE YOUR BACK!!!! Of course part of this responsibility lies on the person going through the trial. It takes trust to let other people help carry your burdens. To those who have carried mine I say Thank You, to those who have listened, offered advice, prayed & fasted, and just cared, I Thank You. The thing about trials to me is that it fosters hope, and hope is all we need, because one day that hope will come to fruition, one way or another.
