A recent blinding flash of the obvious: Staying power...the only thing that determines personal staying power is our own willingness...even when there is no desire, no want-to.
Comes the light! It is our willingness to change...to not stay with what we think we need but to accept that we do not know what it is we need.
Although it seems counterintuitive, we find we can get stuck when we only seek to know God's will...without trust in God by doing the thing in front of us to do. That stays us in our material mind...seeking a self-determined objective, afraid of finding it.
Break that down...or open that up...and we see the staying power is in our willingness to pray, not just say, thank you in the face of all that invites resistance to the dailies of life.
A deep need we learn...repeatedly...is to anticipate dailies with a happy countenance. Face it, we can't do the happy dance with an unhappy countenance.
Thank you reflects the inner love and laughter that sings our life's song as we untangle the dailies of life.
A happy heart maketh a cheerful countenance. -- Proverbs 15:13
Thank you.
