Character is not measured by how many times we fall down. It is truly measured by the manner by which we lift ourselves up, each and every time. -Unknown

This week I’m finding this below reflection on the pilgrimage of life to be one that resonates with me. I also love this Christian song, “One Day at a Time,” that I share below. Blessings on your week ahead!

Pilgrim People

We are a pilgrim people. Your pilgrim road might be cobbled and worn or it might be full of potholes, sinkholes, or broken concrete, but all of us walk this pilgrim road together.

On this pilgrim road, believe that . . .

Who you are is enough.

You carry the spark of divine love within you.

You are loved just as you are.

You are a gift.

You matter.

You are precious.

You are a beloved child of God.
