Walking In Faith

More than likely, I’ve written about this and probably more than once. The challenge with me and faith, is sometimes I forget. Sometimes, the ability to recall how much of His grace has been heaped on me is staggering. Sometime the ability to remember that I’m His favorite child is lost. Sometimes, going through this human experience, knowing I’m connected to Him and all His power and grace is woefully forgotten. Then and only then, does He send a messenger to jog my memory.

I awoke to messages about a friend I met while living in Cebu City. He’s not doing well, on life support, and the prognosis is dire. At times,things are, inspiring. Other times, they are grim. This seems to be the latter, but without more information, I’m uncertain. One thing I know for sure is God doesn’t have step children, nor does He have nieces, nephews, cousins, or grandchildren. We are all His child. We are in His care. It’s His job, as with any loving parent, to take care of and watch over their offsprings.

For me, today, I must remember that Howard, as I, and as we all are, under the care and protection of our Father. His grace, we all abide in. His love, envelopes us all. He, and only He, has dominion over us. As I think of those struggling, like myself and so many others, I remember these lessons and experiences which I have found to be true and eternal.

Today, Friday, June 9, 2023, I am grateful that:

I’m living in the solution. It’s unproven for me, but I’ve witnessed it work in others. I’m not about to abandon the concept I’ve lived by for years. Leverage the experience of others, learn from them, and accelerate your growth. I will follow the steps of those who’ve walked this path ahead of me.

More than one person has let me know about Howard. It’s sad to know this is part of his journey, yet, this is his journey. My path and his intertwined briefly, and for that I am grateful.

I’m really getting comfortable learning another tool. This journey has been amazing, with so many new things to see, experience, and learn along the way. The small lessons from last night, and I’m sure the many more in the future, all enhance my sojourn.

How do you remember you are His favorite?

When do you set aside time to commune with your Creator?

How often do you give thanks to your Creator for your creation?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
