These days, I have noticed a joy in my surroundings —and far beyond them— that has left me deeply surprised.
It feels as though something, at last, has fallen into place.

Sad faces are beginning to disappear. In their place, sincere smiles emerge, some accompanied by tears of happiness, the kind that return the soul to where it belongs. You can feel it in the air: something has settled inside many of us.

All recent events have led to this stunning emotion, impossible to ignore.

Of course, there are always a few.
Those who seem to suffer from a mental dysfunction —or worse, a failure of logic and humanity— and who cannot find comfort in the joy of others. I see no future in them. Their impoverished mindset, tainted by selfishness and envy, will never allow them to be happy.
They do not provoke anger; they provoke pity. Some believe what they need is a beating to set them straight. I don’t. Some deficiencies cannot be corrected with blows. A lack of reason and empathy has no remedy.

But the rest…
Those on the outside and those within.
Those who endured, who waited, who doubted, but did not surrender.

We are smiling from ear to ear.

Beautiful days are coming into view. Days when job opportunities appear, bringing with them the money so desperately needed, and with it, a quality of life that for a long time seemed like an impossible luxury.

Many families are already doing the math, and they're doing it from a place of hope. Many of those who are abroad feel the urgent call to return to their homes. The earth is calling. He always does. And the obstacles that once prevented the return begin to slowly fade away.

These will be dates we will never forget.
The sky has opened its doors to drench us in blessings, and in that silent gesture, it reminds us of something we should never have doubted:
God the Father is good.
He always has been.
