Driving to work this morning gave me time to think how
blessed I am. Despite the heavy traffic
and rain, I reminisced about how much I miss my mother. There is not a day that I don’t think about
her. I am so grateful to God that I had
so much time with her. I am sure there are so many others that feel the very same
about their love ones, too. I find it
more amazing that I think of my brother every day, also. I know that we were not that close in our
younger days but since my mom’s transition, I pray for his welfare and safety
everyday. As I get older, I find God’s
presence in my life more than ever.
Since, my elevator experience, my friend has given me so much insight on
the power of faith that I have to smile to myself and get teary-eyed when I
think of her unrequited love for and unwavering faith in God. How great is our God? Greater than our faith and beyond any description that we can find words or descriptions for. Christmas and Easter were two of my mother's favorite holiday seasons! She loved them all that celebrated the love of God but these two were very special to her. I will pay homage to her by seeking the real reasons for the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Maybe, I'll be a better man doing so.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
