God sustains us in all things while protecting us from nothing. -- James Finley
One of the surprising blessings in my life is turning 80 and finding a higher level of joy here.
Few people I know...certainly not I...look forward to old age, and face it, when one reaches 80, one reaches old age. Like most of God's will for us, acceptance of life as it lands on us is the path to peace.
I used to pray for peace of mind all the while worrying about whatever crossed my unpeaced mind. Then...ah, then...I was gifted with the power of peace in thank You.
Whatever comes to our conscious mind, comes with and in spite of God's will, God's way...in particular the self-determined objectives that more often than not leave us feeling sick, sad and/or sorry. But what better way for miracles to come to be?
That's my personal knowledge of faith...not knowing what the next minute will bring yet living the peace of welcome in my heart.
To clarify...that's my personal eyebrows-up knowledge of faith. I achieve it as God wills...not nearly as often as I want because, of course, my will keeps pushing ahead.
Again, I am reminded: Everything happens by invitation only.
And again: God sustains us in all things while protecting us from nothing.
Thank you.
