If we are not radically grateful every day, resentment always takes over. Moreover, to ask for 'our daily bread' is to recognize that it is already being given. Not to ask is to take our own efforts, needs, and goals—and ourselves—far too seriously. -- "Richard Rohr Daily Meditation," November 23, 2025
Reading that, I realize here's me, sitting in the midst of my fear of dementia and...no, I need to back that up.
With the grace of God and my own grit, I have moved beyond my fear of dementia, to the place of if dementia be Thy will for me, I can let it be.
I accept that today as my jumping off place...away from self-determined objectives to Thy will, not mine, be done...please and thank You.
That relieves my gutbucket fear but does not entirely relieve the trepidation. That, too, is a good thing...it keeps me turned to God, for God, with God.
The miracle-working power of gratitude...it keeps us turned to God from which flows all good whether we realize it in the moment or not.
God is so good to me...and thee...and them. To All.
Thank you.
