Happy holidays to you.This time of year means family to me - a time to remember all those in my extended family who do so much to make the world a better place.
It's not easy sledding out there but we keep pushing the rock up the hill.
A local minister friend asked me the other day why I don't just sit back and let it all crash and see what God has next in store for us.
I told him I am stubborn and that I can't turn my head away from it all.
I learned some years ago, thanks to Quaker friend Al Geiger who lives in Jacksonville, Florida, that we can't be attached to results. He helped me understand that we just have to be faithful to the path, do our level best, and from there things are ultimately beyond our control. Al is one of those I dearly miss from my years in Florida.
So for me that means acceptance of my limitations and just giving it all I can without losing my sense of awe and love for the great mystery of life.
The greatest gift I could get this holiday season is knowing that many of you all over the world are doing your best as well to bring sanity and justice to our world. I join hands with you as we keep pushing toward the new year. Know that as long as I am breathing I will be there with you on the ramparts even if I have to crawl.
As we come near to the end of the year I want to take a moment and remember all those we love who have passed on before us......they will always live in our hearts.
Thanks for stopping by the blog.......I send you my best wishes for love and peace.
