Life Is Great
February 15th, 2010
It really is. Not perfect, but great. Beautiful. Always challenging, amazing, awing, satisfying.
Would I be so happy with it if I weren’t in the financial position I’m in? Uh—probably not. I think of Saint Paul, how he says he has learned to be content in plenty and in need. Hard lesson, that.
Sometimes I grouse and worry that I need more. I don’t. I know that. But you know how it is.
So I’m grateful for what I have. Aware that I’m blessed. Aware that I have more than most people now living.
And I’m more determined than ever to hold onto that gratitude, to give it presence in my life every day. To thank God for all He has given me.
And to give back. Or pay it forward. Whichever direction He chooses.
