Abbu

Montreal for a night

Abby and I have made our annual pilgrimage to Mecca....

Last December we came to a hockey practice at the Bell Centre....

Today we came to Montreal to watch the new movie about the Montreal Canadiens...

It will be released on December 4th but they are premiering the movie tonight at the Bell Centre...

We are soo excited!!

we have an hour and 50 minutes to get there...... we're gonna leave now....... it's only 21 from the hotel in Pointe-Claire... but we don't want to be late!!!

Don't waste it....

do you ever wonder ... when you're going through something horrid... WHY you have to go through that kind of muck??

me too!

Back in 2000, I had the deepest darkest walk through life that I have ever had...
before or since....


Interestingly, the thing I wanted most during that time, was for someone to be able to look me in the eye and say.. ." I know how you feel"


but for whatever reason, nobody could....

I vowed, if I ever got to the other side of the crap, to spend my life sharing those very words.....

"I know how you feel"

someone shared these verses with me a while back... that brought it all into perspective:

II Corinthians 1:3 & 4

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,

4
who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God



I feel like I've been to the edge.....and back....
But I can honestly say that I'm not there any more....

and I'm committed now more than ever.... to not waste that experience....

Maybe you've been to the edge....maybe you're at the edge....

know this... that somewhere, somebody knows how you feel...

Tomorrow will be better....

Don't waste the trip
