The story...
In accounting, assets need to balance liabilities with a net sum of zero - life ain't that way. If I want a particular outcome, or series of events, then I'll always be disappointed. Yet, if I live in the present and value my relationships; then, my assets can be huge and my liabilities mere needs that can be fulfilled by the grace of God and love extended from others.
The only church in town would be a place where people meet neighbors who are thankful for life and every breath they breathe in the present. Yes, life is a gift lived out in the present.
I wonder if we'll breathe in eternity? Will there be darkness when the "Light" is there?
Just for today...
"A great deal can be learned as a result of painful circumstances, but they are not my only teachers. I live in a world of wonders. Today I will pay attention to their gentle wisdom." Courage to Change (p. 190)
"In those who are still bound to their unhappiness, we hear, beyond their words, angry judgments of the . . . , self pity, and a grim determination to 'win the battle,' no matter what." One Day at a Time (p. 190)
