Accepting My Brookenenss Lets the Light Shine!

We are all broken!
All of us, not only widows, are broken.
We can begin to heal when we accept the thoudands of fragments of our lives.
As L R Knost wrote,
Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, and unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.
Each day without Jan next to me, I seek to open myself to the light by loving her, my family, and my friends intentionally, extravagantly, and unconditionally.
The light I share with them will help us illuminate the correct path of our lives.
Jan lived a good life and is in the Book of Well-Lived Lives!
The love Jan and I shared will never die.

Illuminate the Path of Our Life
My reading was a contemporary Avinu Malkeinu that presented a series of questions acknowledging our responsibility for our lives. It was the ideal lesson for me as I began a year of growth and change. Was it merely luck that I was assigned this passage? Or was it another divine intervention like the one I had experienced after the fire?
