I once had a blinding flash of the obvious in the midst of a daydream of me winning the Nobel Peace Prize, to wit: Winning all the high honors in the world would mean nothing to me if none of my friends...but especially none of my enemies...knew I had won. True some fifty years ago, true today...ah, to love it and laugh.
Thank You, Lord God, that I am just exactly as I am...if I had not walked the road I walked, I would never have sought You...found You. Who's kidding whom...it is most likely I would have found yet another self-punishing substitute. Every mistake, misstep, misdirected ego-victory want of mine led me to You, and I am grateful. I am equally grateful that I See Me in every 3:00 A.M. rue, regret and remorse that visits me whenever it wants for that too leads me to You. Amen
I am blessed...I am blessed just because, but I know I am blessed because I have been given the gift of laughter. Laugh, and love tags along. Laugh at our own self, and love does the happy dance.
Thank you.
