Whats really important? Is it the things that we do, own, worry about, fill our lives with? Two people that I loved, respected and admired passed away this week within 24 hours of each other. They each led long full inspired lives. They were best friends with a strong common bond. They took time to freely give away what they had been given. Im not talking about the stuff of this world, though Im sure they were generous in the material sense too. Im talking about the sunlight of the spirit of God shining through two people so brightly that you cant miss it or mistake it for anything else. I am filled with awe and gratitude that I have been privileged to witness and be touched by two such beautiful souls. They blessed and helped so so many people; saving lives and showing the way. How lucky are we!? So as I ponder my life and its impact and meaning... I realize that most of what I spend my time thinking and worrying about lately is not what life is truly about. I say that I have faith and yet I am exceptionally good at worrying and obsessively trying to figure things out to the point of negatively impacting my well being. I am human. .. and I am certainly better than I used to be. But... What is it that I want to put out there and feel inside? Its a daily moment by moment thing. How do I treat each person I encounter? That includes how I treat myself and those closest to me as well as strangers, acquaintances, friends and coworkers. Do I want to spread love even in challenging conversations? Or do I want to spread fear, dread, and worry/ stress? And... what is my true source? Does it all come from God? Or... is my source people places and things? Im on a ride of joy and sadness today. Glad that I can feel it and see it. Back at a turning point .... what will my choice be today? Do I choose God and that amazing love. . Or do I turn to the side and walk the in between line? Im not in the darkness like I once was... but am I really walking in the sunlight if the spirit of God? That in between place is less obvious and yet very real in the choice that is to be made on a daily basis. God help me, today I choose LOVE.
