Things I learned (or was reminded of) this week. An ongoing series.

 

Praying for people I resent always helps me feel better.  But sometimes it helps me feel better just a tiny bit more slowly than I like.

 

When I doubt that God is giving me what I need -- and that it is infinitely and profoundly better than what I want -- the best thing I can tell myself consists of just three little words:  Wait and see.  Because when I do, when I look back over a stretch of life and see just how things came together, I'm always dazzled  and moved at the graceful synchronicity of it all.

 

More meetings generally equals a quieter head.

 

Service is a joy, and the times when I have been fully present for a sponsee, focused intently on listening to them and helping them, are some of the times I've felt closest to something Bigger than myself -- a connection, a channel, to a Higher Power.  It is a privilege, and something for which I will always be grateful.

Thanks for the reminders! There is a special moment in those reflections when ... especially here ... I realize how connected I am in this tapestry of power in the Sunlight of the Spirit. Quite awe inspiring really, because there are those who affect me so profoundly... and I've never even met them :) But I feel I know their spirit... kindred they are.

Thank you for this post. "Wait and see" was something I really needed to hear. I've been going through some challenging times lately, and reading that really helped me get a quieter head and a good night's sleep.
