Ah, but as I write, God, I remember one important caveat. It is essential that I look at myself through Your Eyes of Love and Forgiveness! Looking back over my mistakes and missed opportunities I need Your Love and Compassion

Perspective, Saguaros and Thanksgiving
Here I am in this amazing Universe. Here, now, on Planet Earth. How, now, shall I respond?
Lessons learned — and relearned
This time I’ll buy the semi-daily devotional book, A Minute of Margin, and work on remembering that lesson. I am a slow learner, God. But, then slow is good!

Traveling, Mazes and Changes

My World, Our World, One Boat
This is Our World, God. We have to live on it together. Pulling together . . . pulling in the same direction. In the book, The Boys in the Boat, an old boat maker tells one of the crew, “If there is someone in your boat that you don’t like, LEARN TO LIKE HIM.”

The Greening Healing Force
Those aren’t bad things. But, they are fatiguing things. This last year I have borrowed from my Body’s Bank — my Energy Reserves — in order to do what I felt needed to be done. Now it is time to repay my Body and perhaps my tired Soul. Yes, it is Time to Restore, God.
