Good morning…

After reading and re-reading yesterday’s post, “What do I want for Mother’s Day?” I deepened my thoughts for everyday living.

What do I really want each day of my life? I want me, the real me. I want my best self to keep coming around. I want to be the kind of person with whom family and friends, strangers and soulmates genuinely want to spend time. I want each of us to freely share our thoughts and our feelings, to ask core questions and to offer wise advice. Back and forth. Forth and back. I want to be honest about our fears and our differing opinions, about our hopes and our growing edges.

On big and little issues, I want to feel at home asking each other for help. I want to stay connected wherever we are, to rant about life’s randomness, to talk about our worries and our passions, to discuss our loved ones, lost and gained.

I want to continue to share our daily lives in a mutual way, to cry together and laugh together as we journey along, season after season. Sharing tears and laughter is soothing music to our souls. You and I have spent the better part of our lives raising our true selves the best way we knew how, now I want us to sit back and admire the ways God is continually at work inside each of us.

So, come on, let’s raid life’s refrigerator. Let’s help ourselves generously. Let’s spend our money bettering our world within and our world around. With God, each one of us has all we need. Why not live each day joyful and content?

When you ask me what I really want, I say “nothing” because our gracious God showers us with everything we truly need, day after day. Connected to our Creator, I want me, the real me, and you, the real you, to mature into the unique people God is coaxing us to be.

I conclude: “If you feel the same way, you are invited to copy, paste, and forward your gratitude to your closest God-given companions.” ❤❤

God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn’t far from any of us, and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are (Acts 17:27-28a, CEV),
