“The world breaks everyone, then some become strong at the broken places.”
–Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), American novelist
Beginnings is a celebration of renewal following a broken experience.
It’s a toast to fresh start after closure. It’s a thanksgiving to life. It’s a tribute to people – families, friends, doctors and nurses – who walk side-by-side with cancer patients. Above all, it’s an expression of gratitude to God for holding together family, friends and caregivers through life’s wounds and brokenness, from which new strength and profound beauty are born.
We have encountered brokenness in our lives. We have choices for surmounting setbacks. Some choose to stay in the brokenness; some simply stay in denial; yet others accept the fate and let light enter through the cracks – only to discover that following adversity, there is illuminating beauty.
