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.
Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.
