I'm reminded again this morning that we do God's will always whether or not we know it. When we make our decision to seek still more spiritual growth always and all ways, we are not freed from mistakes, self-determined objectives, errors in judgment...showing our butt in a word. What we must needs remember is that those very errors become God's gift back to us, perfected.
It is our job and our joy to find the gold in the gift God returns to us...and use it in the service and for the benefit of others.
Here's how I experience that happening: I promptly have someone in my face doing exactly that which I did, only hers will look UGH-LY. I will feel repulsed with a deep need to correct him, sometimes for their own good even. Usually, though, just to feel superior. Either way...I'm going down that wrong road again.
Here's the gift: Today, I don't go very far down that wrong road before I get the word. I make my U-turn, and I laugh. Which lets me love...me, the mistake, the other, God.
And there it is...all One in love and laughter.
Thank you.
