I treasure the time I spend with those in my close bubble.
But I mask up and keep my distance from other friends because how could I live with myself if I unknowingly infected someone with Covid? I do it because I respect the rights of others as much as my own.
Two of my friends have passed away this year. If you have also lost someone close to you, I’m giving you a virtual hug because my heart feels what you feel. And maybe you’re like me, full of regrets of what I should have done for them, and with them. (You fill in the blanks)
I should have –
I could have –
I wouldn’t have – if I had known there was so little time before they had had to go. So now, my New Year’s resolution is simple:
I want to love, deeply. To share the simple pleasures in life with those I care about.
To stop channel surfing, to downscale the social clutter, to grow in spiritual maturity, and to simplify, simplify, until friendships are the structure that holds my life together. With political chaos and Covid in our world, nothing is for sure. What is left is our relationship with God and each other. That is what’s important. That’s what life is all about.
♥May your New Year be blessed with a depth of love you’ve never yet encountered.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

Thanks Stuart. I think most of us celebrate the passing of 2020. My very best wishes for a better new year for you too! Isn’t life kind of crazy these days?

Crazy is definitely the word for it!
Though in retrospect, human life has always been crazy, what from the wars, to the plagues, to the revolutions and depressions.
Reminds me of a quote from one of my favourite writers: “What matters is how well you walk through the fire.”

Hi Stuart. I love that quote! Its a title from a book of poetry by Charles Bukowski. It kind of summarizes my book The Celestial Proposal in the last chapter explaining life’s purpose. There’s got to be a purpose for all this crazy, right? What do you think the purpose is?
