Some time ago, a friend forwarded me this St Alban’s church message. There's every chance that I've shared it before...I hope so...but it so perfectly fits me today that I feel compelled to share it now:
I see more clearly, now that I am aging. Not with my eyesight, but with my soul. I see the fine detail of what I missed in younger years. I see the place of faith and forgiveness in my story. I see the possibilities of life in ways I never imagined. I was not blind in my youth, but my vision was limited to only a few seasons of seeing. Now I am an old man standing on a hill. I see more clearly. The universe stretches above me in infinite glory and the Earth spreads her shawl to wrap me in creation. Open the eyes of your spirit. Look out in wonder. See the fullness of the life you have received. See the promise of love walking in beauty before you. -- Rt Rev Steven Charleston
My heart fills with joy each time I read that.
My deep thank you to the Rt Rev Steven Charleston, and to my friend who forwarded it to me.
Thank you.
