That is more than enough reason to commemorate this day.
As I thank God for the gift of my life, I hopefully have become more appreciative of what that really means. I know I have cursed the darkness I have created in it more than I have lit candles from the Light of the World to show me the Way. I think that will probably be what the rest of my life's work--to allow Him to re-create me. I just need to learn to cooperate with His grace.
Be that as it may, I still look ahead to what lies before me. Maybe with more fear and trepidation than faith and trust, but that is a life-long lesson I am only beginning to learn. There is a lot more healing of psyche and soul that needs to be done, but it is all a part of reclaiming me. I am going forward; how boldly is a question for discussion.
But the most important thing is that I am here. And that I am, flawed and imperfect as my existence has been. But I am working on taking to heart a phrase from Revelation (21:5a) proclaimed on the Fifth Sunday of Easter. (I also have to admit the timing of some Scripture the past two years has been music to me and of great consolation.)
In Latin: Et dixit qui sedebat in throno : Ecce nova facio omnia.
In English: The One who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”
May I embrace that promise.
So that at this time next year I can concoct another cryptic post title.
