Perspectives

When we look back on life, we see more clearly

than when we were living it in the moment.

 

Every turn had its purpose, every stumble turned us towards hope, every person made an impact and every valley

held the promise of a mountain top.

 

Every step we take, every moment we live, every thought that we think, they all are a part of us becoming something

that we never thought would be possible.

 

Our future is being formed each day and looking back reveals the tapestry of the journey

in so many awesome and interesting ways.

 

It is only from this vantage point

that we can be truly thankful, and only from this view

that we can truly understand life\'s purpose.

 

Today we have crossed one of the many finish lines in life,

but if you look back, you will see the greater picture,

and that you are destined for great purpose.
