TO LIVE IN GOD'S LIGHT...LOVE AND LAUGH

I just stumbled on this ode to my grandma that I wrote in 2013:
 
....her one inner desire was to please God, and she knew that we only please God by, her words, 'doing right by others.' She did not seek to be comforted...she was as comfortable as she needed to be; she did not seek to be understood...that'd be a concept totally unfamiliar to her; she did not seek to love or to be loved, she just loved and was loved, no seeking about it. * * * Materially, she did not have two extra pennies to bless herself with; spiritually she lived in God's light. There. That is the pearl of great price.

Blinding flash: "Stumbling" on this particular piece describes the how, when, why God works in my life. 

"How?" He reveals his answers to me through me. "When?" As needed. "Why?" To lift my thoughts away from self up to Self.

Every word I wrote about my grandma in November of 2013 is exactly what I need to read, recall and joy in today. I remember her, the lessons learned from her and apply them to my life today. 

Now, love and laugh.

Thank you.
