Be not discouraged
12/02/2009

We walk around thinking we know how life is, how the world is, what will happen based on what has happened in the past, but we are wrong.  We don’t know.  We do not see the totality of everything, the perfection, the possibilities inherent in every circumstance.  We do not know how you are being prepared at this very moment for the next perfect thing. We don’t know how even now beings from the world beyond are working on our behalf.  We must do our part by continuing to have faith, to look up, to make room for unforeseen possibilities.  We must do our part by being grateful, willing to share, knowing that nothing can keep us from our good.  So often we don’t even know what our good is.  It has to bite us on the butt or slap us in the face to get our attention.  And then only when we have no alternative do we make room for it…accept it…embrace it…and ultimately, thank God for it. 

And so it is. 

We’re numbskulls, but we’re DIVINE numbskulls.
