Surprises

Some are expected on special occasions.

Some cause fear from unexpected news.

Some are shocking especially when they concern friends or family.

Some inspire conversations that never would have happened.

Some nudge us toward our dreams.

Some strengthen our faith.

Some make us reach out to others for all the right reasons.

Some produce tears.

Some appear on our front porch left by an unknown hand.

Some give birth to life-changing moments.

Some offer courage in the darkest moments of our lives.

Some are forgotten....

... and some stay with us forever.
