The big surprise to me is that is good...the spiritual lesson is that slowly is how we learn God's will, God's way. Then when we get it, it feels like a blinding flash of the obvious.
Looking back, I get that this is an example of head-truth versus living-it truth. From my eyebrows up, I wrote Truth, but my feet hesitated to head in that direction...it's as though my toes were tacked to the floor.
I'm slowly accepting that all the "betterment" I pray for is already bettered. I am as good as I am going to get right now. Ah, the secret of a happy life probably lives in now.
To live in the now is close to perfection. The big lesson we're learning is that perfection is of God thus a whole different way of life than we know.
My incurable, progressive disease was the bane of my life until God took it up...and now it is my pearl beyond price, the gold standard of my heart and soul.
I think of today's political situation, and I know the first thing I need is to stay my head and heart in the now by praying thank you. Then I can do the next thing and, by grace and by God, accept all that comes by letting it pass on by.
Thank you.
