The thought for today--short and sweet, yet thought-provoking.
Life--We have all been given one, and it is a gift. Each is as individual, as unique as the snowflakes that fall. That profound concept in and of itself blows my mind away. I struggle when I try to wrap my mind around the individuality of each of us. Each is important, created with value from a mind and heart of love.
I love my life. It isn't that I love my work, my interests, my activities, the things that make up my everyday living, though I do. I love my life. That has not always been the case. I'll spare you the details. You'll just have to trust me on this one. There was a time in my life, and it covered a very long stretch of time, when I did not want to be. Contrast and comparison, ying and yang, black and white, day and night. Living in one place makes living in the other all the better, appreciated and treasured beyond words.
For years I wrestled with that age-old question "What is the meaning of life?" In essence I was asking why I was alive, why I had been born. I'm not touting the answer to that question, but I do know that at this point in time, at this point in my life I am at peace.
As I share my thoughts and my life with you, I fear becoming one standing on a soap-box. I juggle my words carefully. I so desire for each of you the knowledge, the experience, the life and relationship I have with our Creator. And yet.....Well, just know I do not want to be the very type of person I despise.
Many years ago, I was given a song, and that I am going to share with you. It actually expresses all that I feel.
"Do you know my Father? Do you know my friend? Do you know my Father?
He loves me. My life is in His hands.
He's a loving Father. He is kind and true. He will never fail you. He loves you. He's
waiting just for you.
Will you meet my Father? Will you meet my friend? Will you meet my Father?
He loves you. Is your life in His hands?"
There. The sermon for the day. I just can't help myself though I do try.
