When life is hard, I secretly wish someone out there was keeping score and clapping. I wish you could get an award for everything you do for others too. But instead, most of the difficult and painful choices we make to love others and get up again after being knocked down will have no audience. No clapping. At most, we will get a small sense that we are moving in the right direction. So today let’s bless the things we do and what it costs, even though we probably won’t get a medal for whatever happens.
