Sometimes, the Fates decree we should start our lives afresh. We must forgive where we condemned and seek to mend the things we shattered. Nothing may ever be perfect again, but there is always beauty somewhere. Hold it close, breathe it in, in case it cannot stay. The heart will always find its place. Some call it home. Some call it friendship. If we’re lucky, we can call it love. And love is a process of lifelong learning. A lesson in where we belong and what defines us. An education in the things we can never measure, a page forever fresh, and waiting to be turned. ~ Call the Midwife Season 12, Episode 6

The family is where we are forged and where we come to heal. It is where we can fly back to. It is our magnetic north. The family is the sum of all important things — the sweet, the bitter, the fragile, and the strong. Measured by time together, not defined by days apart. ~ Call the Midwife Season 12, Episode 4

Once we start to grow, nothing is ever entirely innocent or easy. And the best things in life are not gifts, but earned and even fought for. Love deepens, respect blooms. We share more than we keep, grow more than we reap or spend. Loss is endured, and the heart learns to be steadfast. There is strength in all of this. And piece by piece we are made whole. ~ Call the Midwife Season 12, Episode 3

Sweet dreams are an ideal preface to the dawn. We can begin in sunshine and with purpose. We can draw from a well filled with rest and possibility. Nothing has been started, nothing has been spent, if we’re lucky. Each day dawns blank, a sheet of paper waiting for our story. We start to create it the moment that we wake. ~ Call the Midwife, Season 12. Episode 2.

Not every new beginning is a good one. There are things we cannot clean away, but we can invest in the water and the light. We can choose to listen and to speak. We are more enmeshed in others’ lives than we imagine. We are all somebody’s memory, someone’s joy or their regret. We are the weavers of each other’s cloth, the keepers of our fellow travelers in time. Change is not a threat. It is a chance, and if we embrace it, we can begin again. ~ Call the Midwife Season 12. Episode 1. #CallTheMidwife #MidwifePBS
Some things are so easy to spring-clean. Glass can be restored to sparkle, tiles to a warm, smooth glow. Cobwebs vanish at the duster’s touch, and wood reveals its perfect grain once more. The world itself appears to gleam, and rendered spotless, we can start afresh. ~ Call the Midwife Season 12. Episode 1. #CallTheMidwife #MidwifePBS

Miracles, like angels, are not rare. Neither do they always fall into our lives as if cast down from heaven to surprise us. Some, like Christmas, simply offer up their magic. Some come in response to prayer or effort or extended longing. And time and time again, we learn that miracles are something that we labor for and make. #CallTheMidwife #MidwifePBS
