What I Know
This
I know …
I
am alive today, therefore I shall continue using all my skills in ways that
reflect my values and my integrity.
I
continually learn and hone my core
Books
take me places and teach me things of value.
I shall forever be a reader, and will probably die with a few books on
my nightstand. By my estimation, I need
to live another 100 years in order to read more of the books on my current
list.
God
loves me as I am, not as I should be.
I’ll never be a Billy Graham or a Mother Teresa, but I am ME and I want
to be ALL ME. And God likes me.
I
am deeply loved by a few incredible people – family mostly, and a few close
friends. Carolyn heads the list – my,
how she loves me. I’m settling into her
love and the esteem she offers.
My
brand of creativity suits me well. I
can’t reach the world with my style and I am okay with that. Any more, I focus on those who like and read
and listen to what I produce. The
critics need to go find someone else to dislike.
I
have a God-connection that I have worked out down through my years of
living. It is fashioned by my reading,
my understanding of the nature of God, but mostly how I perceive how God has
worked in my life up to this moment. I’m
learning more about faith and grace as I grow older.
Faith - trust in the unseen
hand of God. Success, safety, good
health – these are not assured. However,
my faith comes in spite of all of that.
Even in moments of lack, I still trust the God of my understanding. The only assurance I have is this … He will
be with me in the middle of every moment of my life.
Grace - the profound flow of
the goodness of a merciful God and it is not something I deserve. That is why it is grace.
There
is more that I know. Perhaps I’ll
revisit this topic again.
This
is my morning reflection.
