text: Thank you ever so much, Sr. Mary.  Your meditation strikes a deep chord with me.  Over the years, with much trepidation I have repeatedly said, "Yes Lord, let my will be Your Will."  And re-commitment has been an ongoing process.  So very long in my life, I have chosen to acquiesce to the easy road; and invariably been faced with the reality of the harsh one.  As a child receives their First Communion, saying "Yes, to Jesus" is almost like winning the lottery...all is rosy and bright and happy...But as with the child, we grow and become more acquainted with the world of reality, and the roses turn to dried up shells of what they once were...doubt and sadness sets, and we wonder what does it all mean.  Memories of what life once was, brings the reality full circle.  It is then, I have found, that I have had to make a concerted review of my life...making the choice to recommit to Him...and figure out how best to move forward, letting Jesus be my guide.
