Missed Connection

In my home state of Texas I’d frequently see couples riding together in pickup trucks. Some would sit next to each other in the cab, others would sit apart leaving space between them. I’ve wondered if the one sitting far apart used to sit close to each other and vice versa.

The same can be said with my relationship with Him. Sometimes we’re close, other times we’re further apart. Furthermore, He’s always been driving. His place has remained unchanged. So if we’re not close, it’s me that’s moved away.

That has certainly been the case over the last week or so. I have worked everyday, but I haven’t written any gratitude lists. Not a single one for at least a week. I have not felt grateful. Nor have I felt sad, depressed, or happy. It’s been simple, normal, repetitive days.

Maybe that’s the reason for the disconnect. I’m uncertain. I may not feel connected normally, as a person. So when things are normal my connection with Him feels nonexistent. Although, I know He is still driving. He has been and will continue to be in charge.

Today, Monday, September 20, 2021, I am grateful that:

I’m writing despite my feelings. It’s a challenge to get this done today, but there’s something to be said about ignoring my feelings and doing the deal anyway.

I was able to hear the same message delivered by three different people. Stop charging based on my time and start charging based on the solutions I provide. My time is a factor, but not the largest one in determining pricing.

Fred and I got a chance to catch up. We hadn’t spoken in over a year. It was a long and informative conversation. So grateful to be able to leverage the experience of others.

Can you feel your connection with your Creator right now?

When’s the last time you felt a profound connection?

Is there a way to feel that connection more consistently?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
