A Wonder
(Light in the Silence, part 2)
When God thought you up, it was a good day...
You were made by love, for love, to love.
May these words wrap around you like a warm embrace and remind you that you are, and
always have been, a wonder. Kate Bowler
This dovetails on the last post. Hmm. Am I writing for you or me?
OMG. . . Maybe both? Well, for sure me!
Yes, yes. The Happiest Time of Year. Mostly. House is decorated. Cards ready to be mailed. Gifts purchased. Certainly prepared!
Already have had gatherings. Looking forward to more. Visits from friends. Seeing family.
OMG. . .The Happiest time of year. . .Mostly.
Until age creeps in. A new ache. An old pain revisited. Reminders. This journey I call my life, keeps getting shorter and shorter.. I thought that happened to other people. Not me.
OMG. . .In So Many Ways . . .wish I could permanently turn the corner on this monkey mind that keeps shouting my age. Then softly whispers about that new ache or pain.
But then I read it was a good day when God thought me up! I am a wonder. You are a wonder. We are a wonder. Do you believe that?
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . . down deep I really do. Especially when I can see “monkey mind” for what it is. My human distraction. My own personal linebacker. And she loves to block my relationship with God.
OMG. . .God knows how to handle monkey minds. Linebackers. He sends a meditation. Paints a Santa Fe sunrise/sunset. Nudges a friend to call.
Because you see, it was a good day when God thought of me.
I am, and always have been, a wonder!
OMG. . .In So Many Ways .
