Life is full of love and beauty. It also asks us to bear the weight of hard things. Each day we can choose to live and act in ways that put people in the way of love and beauty, or we can surrender them to the weight of hard things. Put people in the way of love and beauty. Be kind. Listen. Share your resources and your time. Stick around for people when they can't find their joy. Don't honk. Don't exclude some people in order to gain the approval of others. Say what you love about people out loud. Give people credit for their good ideas. Cheer people on. There is enough love, joy, and abundance for everyone when, by God's grace, we choose to embody Love and beauty. So put someone in the way of love and beauty today. It may be just the bridge they need to get from despair to hope.
