At My Leisure

At my leisure I strolled through post-college life worked smart by day, partook of pleasure at night One morning woke up on the back side of the hill my dreams unattainable, attenuated my will Never tested my mettle, never once even dared stretch my arms out to Him, make my life over with prayer

It's a miracle we survive our thoughtless youth! I guess, just be thankful for that. Looking back, I think I was totally insane. Elizabeth

Join the club, Elizabeth. Totally insane, without a single functioning brain. How DID we all survive?!

The sad truth for many. Oh the rarity of the ones who each and every day recognize the grace of God and give gratitude to Him. God bless you, Gershon!

What else were we created for? -- To fatten our bank accounts? To acquire Luxury Cars? ...

This understanding with a sense of remorse is enough to fetch God's grace.

Remorse yes -- but genuine. Not self-pity. :) gw

if the prayer be the simple recognition that we are being breathed by His breath, holding steady this understanding moment to moment, what else is there to be done? We get out of our own way and His light already within, shines forth as bliss.
