Loved Ones
I've
been thinking today about all my friends, near and far. I've been thinking about
how blessed I am to have you all. I've been thinking about how blessed I am to
have parents, a sister and other family members who love me unconditionally.
I've been thinking about new friends and old. Friends I see in the flesh and
friends I only know through the glowing cathode ray tube before me, that I only
communicate with through these keys I now press. Friends here and friends gone.
Do I tell you I care about you, if I don't do you know
anyway?
I could attempt to make a list of all those I love, but I would fail. Too many for my feeble brain to recall all the names. Should I attempt to I would offend by omission and I have no wish to do that.
Recently I wish blessings upon Ben for his friendship and his song Broken Hearted which was a real catalyst for change in my way of thinking. I have run from God for so long. I tried to fit Him in a box. It didn't work too well. I don't write any of this to try to convert you to my way of thinking. I only write this out of attempting to explain and understand where I am now and perhaps where I was. Thank you Ben.
Robyn is a new friend and has also helped bring about this re-awakening in me. I met Robyn in a chat room and we began to have a nice enough chat. She asked me if I believed in God and I was taken aback. It's unusual to actually meet someone nice in a chat room, let alone someone who has convictions and wants to know if you do too. Robyn's question set me thinking about what I believe and Who I believe in. The conversation took a more serious turn there as I began to think about my views and to try to explain them. She is very kind, understanding and patient. We chat daily now and my faith renewal comes up often. She is truly one of what Lincoln referred to as, "the better angels of our nature." She's also just plain fun and sweet. Thank you Robyn.
God is moving in my life again and it is simply because I decided to stop preventing Him. To stop hiding. To stop pretending that I could do it all on my own. Thank you God.
