We Have the Capacity to Recover

On this day 2001 we didn’t know if or how we could recover. Together we managed even with adapted travel procedures at our airports. Now we are in the midst of a pandemic, something none of us have lived through before. I wish I could say we are all pulling together. I have confidence that we will eventually overcome this challenge as well.

Trees push through seemingly impossible obstacles to grow. They reach for the sunlight. Just as each of us must do when we face the challenges life. We must strive and struggle to make it through the hard places.

The Tree of Life symbol represents our personal development, uniqueness and individual beauty. Just as the branches of a tree strengthen and grow upwards to the sky, we too grow stronger, striving for greater knowledge, wisdom and new experiences as we move through life.

“God never puts us in a place too small to grow.” Henrietta Mears
