Beautiful Sarah. I always loved "beauty from ashes", but I love how you envisioned God writing a symphony and how our lives are part of each section of the music. Beautiful illustration and one I will be remembering. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Sarah, although i don't believe in God like you do, i believe in a higher power who's guiding me to my destination, who's also not a vengeful one, but gentle and caring like your parents. I love music, too (my taste in music is very diverse, ranging from classical music to rock-metal and rap), and i truly believe our lives are like a symphony.

Life really can be viewed like a symphony when we stand back and see the bigger picture of our life stories ❤️❤️❤️

Yes, indeed. I totally agree with you on this. Btw, one other way i view life is pieces of a puzzle (Just like a puzzle is made up of pieces put together, so do our lives consist of days. Also, our good and bad days are all part of that bigger picture).

Thank you for writing this. I’ve been dealing with a chronic illness for the last three years and God has been writing his symphony every step of the way.

I love how God spoke to you through music that He is writing a symphony of your life. That's just beautiful! I also love your poem!

I hear you on the teenagers moaning from the backseat. I get that, too. Haha!

God is indeed writing a symhony in all of our lives! Here is a song I love called "Symphony" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_90_NAbv3k I used it in my article "Stillness". Even in the madness there can still be peace!
