Like many others today, we are realizing how three years of being isolated by the pandemic have changed us...for me, I am experiencing the me of long ago. The me that was shut down...all but mute from fear...unsocialized is the prettiest way to put it.
We pray for God to...do, give, take away, turn us perfect, whateverwhateverwhatever.
The answer flashes: Give God something to work with.
I am reminded of the guy many years ago who said to me, "Honey, if you really wanna change, you gotta hold your nose and take a leap of faith." True then, true now.
My leap: I invited three others with whom I am acquainted to join me for lunch after our meeting today. That is such a no big deal...or three years ago, that could have been so. Ah, but three years ago it would not have entered my mind to invite to lunch three people I barely know...I was socialized back then (or close enough).
As I think about lunch today, I pray thank you that I can and will participate...that I can and will speak up, listen, be a part of...I have given God something to work with.
Thank you.
