Faith & Roses

I am sharing Christmas with Mom. I am so grateful to have Mom. No matter our human conditions changing, ebbing, flowing and deteriorating. Love remains love.

My Higher Power has schooled me not to hold too tightly to the things of this world. Some folks are losing their minds, laser-focused on creating some physical magic to perpetuate their roots in a holiday. They are wearing themselves out and grumbling about who they are going to “be forced” to see; what they must buy. They dive into the materialism of a human holiday. (Not all, of course.)

I will have a quiet Christmas and my God’s gift to me is the opportunity to “represent” him. Higher Power wants me to care for my parents when they are old. Be available to the lonely, frail and ill.

I will trust and believe that God, as I understand Him, has a future for me that He wants to bring me into in His time. A future that I cannot “best” Him at. A future that I cannot go into without Him.
