THERE IS ONLY GOD'S WILL...EVER

I thought of a friend of mine this morning, and I knew in my heart that she does on the quiet more acts of kindness for others than I'll ever dream of doing...and not to be hard on  myself only, she does more for others than anyone else I know will ever dream of doing.

The pearl beyond price: She would be surprised if that were pointed out to her.That is beyond merely admirable...and I wouldn't trade places with her for actual cash money.

I am a believer that each of us has to do what each of us has to do. It is not until we accept that with its warts and all that we start to walk free in our own head.

I have made peace with the fact that I am not an overly thoughtful person. It was a great relief to me when I finally accepted that about me. I was spending way too much time beating me up about it...not changing, not becoming more thoughtful, just coloring me ugly on a daily basis.

Acceptance is not found by a simple shrug and moving on, footloose and fancy. That's part sloth, part self-centered fear. My acceptance asks fairly hard work of me...the work being in detaching, changing my mind, letting go of self-determined objectives, becoming willing to ask God what He has in mind.

There...that's my key: Acceptance comes to me through the search for spiritual solutions...not solutions that will benefit me only, but solutions that will benefit others and me...and sometimes not me at all, but always others, in which case I get the bennie, i.e., peace in my heart, the golden core of acceptance.

The real solution is in accepting that my perceived problem has no solution...for there is no problem. There is only God's will...ever. Find that and you will find peace.

Thank You.
