I suspect that this is the eason for evaluation. Yes - this is the sort of person I've become this last year, a bit wider around the waist and thinner on top, a bit more serene some days and more angry others. I might have had a few too many shots this year, and I didn't write the thank you notes I meant to. I hoped to finish a book, but another year has gone by, and I haven't done it. There was no yelling, but I probably spent far too much time writing blogs than calling some people who I should call, and by now I've forgotten who they are. Or maybe, not only shall we evaluate ourselves this lent, but remember - and remember everything, the slights we didn't intend, the slights against us we took too seriously, and then saying, Thank God for all of it, I'm so in love with Him, I'm so happy I'm alive, and for all the broken promises around me, even unto death, I know there is one that has and will be kept.
This is a beautiful post.
It reminds that even when I feel broken-hearted and that enemies are all around me, there is still one Friend there, one Beloved.
