GRACE OF GOD AND FRIENDS, I

[The following is a slightly reworked reprint of my post of March 31, 2012]

Per today's morning meditation of Fr. Richard Rohr, "If there isn’t some way to find some deeper meaning to our suffering, to find that God is somewhere in it, and can even use it for good, we will normally close up and close down."

There's my truth. What I especially love is that I learned that truth a while back from another source entirely. Which is unneeded, but welcomed, assurance that I'm still on the right path, going in the right direction.
 
It's always fireworks in my heart when I read anything, including the long-gone Ann Landers column, that confirms my path. Probably because I was so long on a path that was mine and mine alone, and I was determined to keep it that way. I knew all there was to know about all there was to know, and if I didn't...don't let anybody else know. 

By grace and a lot of help from my friends, God found me somewhere in the mix and now uses me for good.

Thank you.
