I'm not very good with titles


How often in life do we face a challenge with joy? A task is usually a burden to be lifted, an episode to conquer, an obstacle to overcome. Joy is never part of the equation, save that joy we feel with accomplishment. But how can we not see that challenge as accomplishment itself? How can we miss the beautiful lines of encouragement radiating from its core? The opportunity is life, in and of itself. It breaths, it moves, it cries, just like everything else. And when it comes to us, face to face, it comes in life – asking not for a conquer, a slayer, a hero – but for recognition from someone with eyes and ears and a heart like its own. Someone to accept it and embrace the challenge; accept it as life, and live forever more.
Joy in the challenge...is that too hard for man?
