Just thought I write a line or two for those who faithfully read my thoughts!

Today has been an interesting day! I spent much of it reflecting on my grown daughters and their reactions to their growing up years. I am not passing judgement in any way....I am simply observing them and some of the comments I hear them make. I cannot help wondering if God does not spend a lot of time contemplating our growing into HIS likeness. I always intend to write a simple little blog without any spiritual overtones, but it simply will not do....that is not who I am. I have been looking back over my growing up years, I know my parents did the best they knew how...I like everyone else wish they had done some things different, but that is the past. It is the future that lies ahead of me and at this stage of my life...I am responsible for my own choices. Taking responsibility for oneself is a big job. It took me many years to figure out I cannot make other people do anything...they get to choose. I hope sometimes in vain, but other times I am pleasantly surprised by the responses I see in others. Commitment and covenant are two words people say they understand, but I tell you I see very little evidence of true covenant among Christians especially. We have all become as self-centered as those who have never met Christ. The Christ of Christmas is one who gives, and gives, and gives again. I want to be a giver of myself and all that I possess. Try investing yourself in others and you will find true happiness. Besides sharing yourself is a great gift. Once again, one of those disjointed little discourses that this Nona takes on quite a regular basis.
