That ought to be our daily reminder prayer...for there seems to be a built-in resister in us that is active 24/7 only without our awareness. When it scratches that weakness, that wrong in our nature, however, it takes serious loosening of our snark magnet to get our self free.
How hard it is to remember that it is not him/her/them we need to loose, it is me, myself, I. It's way too easy to repeat Loose it and let it go, it is hard...way hard...to do that.
The hardest part is wanting to. The improbable dream: To honestly want to take no counteraction to a public snark...and an undeserved one into the bargain...and what snark is ever deserved to our own mind? The sliver of gold...snarks, too, serve a purpose for that is when we become fully aware that God has our work cut out for him.
Well. There it is. Totally given without thought: God has our work cut out for him. That is life, yours, mine, ours. If we would but let God work through us, all our troubles, Lord, soon be over.
The easier the proposition, the harder the do. I'm guessing that's why love and laugh are God's perfect gifts. If we would concentrate our efforts on those two, ah...there be peace.
Thank you.
