What do you do with terrorizing darkness,
that comes into your life, from a horrific storm?
Darkness comes to everyone eventually. For some, the darkness has fallen many times, for others, not so much.
Nobody escapes darkness altogether.
Do you have a bucket list? You know that list people say we need in order to prove to ourselves that we’ve really lived, before we kick the bucket?
Well, I don’t.
Yet.
I do have another list. The list of things that prove I’ve really lived, and lived to tell about it.
On my list I have:
losing my inheritance, losing my mind, losing my “ideal” family, losing my job, losing my figure, losing my youth, losing my best friends, losing love. Stuff like that. Some people would call that a sh@t list……AND THEY’D BE RIGHT.
Divine justice gives us this opportunity to make one list and actually live another. God permits all sorts of variations to our mental ideal, and lets us grapple with how intense pain and suffering, mixes in with a continual dose of his Divine Love.
If we’ve not done any serious reflection, then our education of life is quite limited, and what we offer to other sufferers, is blunted, only by what we think we know.
The more we face and accept that life comes full of curve balls, strike outs, base hits and home runs, the more we understand that we may give it our all, and sometimes gain defeat, or give nearly nothing and be handed a windfall.
Whatever we loose, we may never find, but what we do find, has more than enough added value, to compensate for our guaranteed losses.
Embracing divine mystery, and my loss of control, has earned me my place in the lap of Jesus, my great comforter. Resting in this “place” is worth any loss. My pain is understood by his pain, and his nail scarred hands have touched and healed my wounded heart
As God deals with mankind, he deals with me and you. God will never forsake us. It’s a promise. Jesus is with us in this life, and all the way into heaven. This is my blessed hope, I put my faith in Gods guarantee.

Amen I do not have abucket list either but I know that everyday is a special gift from God and if I can pray for someone or listen to a person that needs comfort then I have lived w the Love of Jesus Christ and the holy spirit inside of me. Thank you dear Robyn.
