In theological terms, the story tells us that everything is grace, everything is a gift, and everything comes from God....It’s all meant to be enjoyed, if we can accept it as the gift it is. -- Father Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditations," January 15, 2026
Upon reading Fr Richard, I realize the most important part to me today is if we can accept it as the gift it is...or, not to put too fine a point on it, the most important word to me today is if.
Rearing its ugly head is dementia...again, still, oh my.
It is fairly interesting to me that I do not feel as scared as my writing indicates. Ah, but is that our dear friend denial doing my un-feeling for me?
Questions, I've got questions.
The funny/sad part: I've got answers; I've got the right answers...all I need do is use them, live them, put them to work, daily.
Blinding flash of the obvious: This is how I put them to work daily. By wrestling with my egoic thoughts...fear dressed as real...with doubt push-pulling me all the way through to the other side.
The other side being God's will, God's way.
Admitting unto acceptance that this way, from start unto this minute, is God's will, God's way. Comes the dawn (again): God is leading us through.
As we walk God's will, God's way, we are unknowingly blessed to be feeling unloved, unwanted, unneeded, unappreciated. What else would press us on...push us upward into the ever-present arms of God?
God is so good to us...God is so good.
Thank you.
