“When I find myself in times of troubles, Mother Mary comes to me, Speaking words of wisdom, Let it be.
What’s a nice Jewish girl doing writing a post that begins by singing praises of Mother Mary? Yesterday, I re-watched Sir Paul McCartney being honored at The Kennedy Center Honors. This is my favorite award show, when peers honor the best and the brightest artists. Musicians such as Nora Jones, Steven Tyler, James Taylor and Mavis Staples belted out McCartney-Lennon songs for Sir Paul. I broke out in goose bumps.
And when the broken hearted people living in a world agree, There will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see. There will be an answer. Let it be.
When James began strumming on his guitar and singing “Let It Be”, I realized what the next topic for my blog post would be.
When I was first diagnosed with MS, I was told to learn to handle stress for optimal health. Through the years, I’ve read about and tried many different ways of coping; some have worked and some have not. After all of my searching, I realized the most important lesson I’ve learned.
After all of my searching, I realized the most important lesson I’ve learned.
It doesn’t matter what anyone else believes in. (At least not to me.) It can be Mary or Jesus, Moses, Buddha or The Golden Rule. As long as you have something of your own, something tucked safely within your heart and soul that is your personal belief system. That is what matters. Because inevitably, someday, somehow, when your faith is tested, your beliefs will step up to the plate for you, ready to help you navigate your bumpy road. It will give you comfort, courage and hope for a better tomorrow.
