Dear God
I write this blog to you, God, for I have things to say that would only be best-addressed to you. Everyone else is more than welcome to read these thoughts.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for our friends and family. You, more than anyone, know how lonely Daniel and I have been at times here in the biggest city on Earth. We are so far away from our family, who are so important to us. And we are so far away from our dearest friends, who you know we love more than words. So, Dear Lord, thankyou for the love of our friends and family. We are truely blessed to have people like these in our lives who love us, dispite being so far away, and find the time to write us a quick letter or note that warms our hearts and souls. Thankyou for these true friends and our beautiful families.
Lord, I also wish to thank you for the challenge of this City. We know that we grow though the challenges and hardships that you send us and I wish to thank you for this one. I look around this city and see how hard it is to make a good life here, a great life here - possible but, oh, so hard. And I think how lucky we are to have this challenge in front of us.
Lord, give us strength. Strength to work at places that make us feel worthless and over-qualified and under-appreciated. The challenge you have placed in front of Daniel is big. He is facing it with bravery and courage which I admire more than anything.
Lastly, God, thankyou. Thank you for the little beauties of this city that make us remember it's all worth it. Thank you for things like the haze and fog that makes the top of the Empire State Building disappear when we are walking toward it down 34th street - it looks magical, disappearing into the clouds. For things like the lights of the George Washington Bridge, looking so beautiful, on our walk home from the subway. And for Fall, as we witness the change of season here in New York, it really sinks in that we live here. This is home and we are watching the first season change. You never see the season change when you are just visiting somewhere, only when you live there do you witness the season changing. And, it's beautiful. Thank you.
With this change of season, Daniel and I embrace the change in our lives. We embrace this new start, this new beginning, and the challenges it brings.
God, please help those we love in Australia know that we miss them and they are currently in our thoughts. We miss them and pray for their health and happiness.
Always, and forever.
Thank you.
Amen.
