Thanks Being Me. I think what I need to pray for is that my heart remain open to the possibility of change. I don't want that old R back, it was hurtful to everyone, but I want to remain open to the possibility of a new and different kind of R. That doesn't mean sitting around waiting and hoping but it means not allowing the bitterness to close off possibilities, if that makes sense. Even that is hard to do right now, wounds take a long time to heal and I'm not ripping open the scars again. The old R is dead and what comes in future is not mine to know. Hey, my dad told me now that I'm fifty I need to know a few things, he gave me this little gem, "you never bend over and pick up money you find unless it's more than a dollar, it's not worth the strain on the back" Uh, thanks Dad!
