I don't
do holidays well and this one in particular
is difficult for me. My belief is that;
What I say about my past determines my future. Suffice it to say it is a reflection of my parentage, not the loved ones I live with at present.
The best present of the day was indeed *big smiles* is my son's gift of graduating with the honor of receiving o a Gold Diploma. The mother next to me handed me a tissue for my tears of joy during his Baccalaureate last night! I was so happy to see one young man's name on the Gold Diploma list. He had been retained a grade, (gasp! yes our public school district still retains students and does not believe in 'social promotions')and I had tutored him for several years in reading and math.
I haven't had much luck recalling my dreams the past few nights. I'm hoping to concentrate on this more and try again. I do recall being at a great football game! The score was 1764 to 1739 when I woke up!
Oh Lord, all my longing is known to you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
- Psalms 38:9 (NRSV)
I am not just a lifeless channel when I pray for others. In God's divine ecology, I too am being helped and healed.
