Growing Back Clipped Wings

Not everything proceeds smoothly or without challenge.  Sometime disappointment or tragedy make us feel as if our wings have been clipped and we can fly no further.  The good news is that clipped wings can grow back, and most times are stronger than before they were cut.  The cure is to take up the invitation of Jesus to come aside and rest with him; he will refresh the weary soul as no other "remedy" can.   He has promised to make all things new, and sometimes the clipping is necessary for the new to come about.   What is going on in my life today?  Am I being clipped or made new?   In any case, gratitude and appreciation are key in the regrowth; bitterness and resentment will keep the wings in their stumped condition.

Note:  I will most likely be without internet access till Monday...but there may be a surprise in the rectory where I'll be staying Saturday night...but before that, definitely not...  Fly high this weekend!
