Dear Son, thank you for letting me play both parts

How much time do we spend thinking about the future, and then doing something today, based on that?

Dear Son, thank you for letting me play both parts – parent and grand parent.

Three days away from 54, many of my high school classmates have more than one grandchild.

In fact, Aunt Lori (my younger sister) has four grandchildren.

I thank God for the blessing of not missing the opportunity that may not come otherwise.

Dear Son, the power in being focused and disciplined will reward you exponentially.

Ever have a week similar to the week after September 11, 2001?

Sad, confused, hopeful?

Remember? Of course we do. We know exactly where we were when we heard the news.

I focused on the “three percent” last night – Christine, her husband John, and her uncle Frank.

Yes, there was also time with Isobel, Brian and Joy, as well as Craig.

Sometimes we touch hearts without even trying, without ever knowing.

Other times, like last night, our only goal is to make sure we hit a bullseye.

Dear Son, at the center of the Universe is Love, at the center of Love is…

  • peace
  • contentment

Peace with who we are. Content with what we have.

This frees us to love unconditionally.

Dear Son, not feeling prepared this Advent. I want to be, should be, need to be. Only 14 days until our Savior’s birthday. The saving Grace is listening to continuous Christmas music since the day after Thanksgiving. Every song is a prayer.

Maybe the preparation is better than first thought. Maybe I’m being differently prepared this year. Are you ready?
