This is the life I have been given. This is the joy and glory and goodness I have received from a wonderful and merciful Father in Heaven. How I have been blessed, why I have been blessed, I will never know.
This feeling of goodness, the Spirit in all its light and happiness and peace. This is life. This. and This. and This. All is good and kind and mine and not mine at all. I don't know the future. I don't know the middle of my story. But I know the beginning. And I know the end. Side by side, hand in hand, kneeling before the glory of God with my loved ones.
I have been given so many blessings. My favorite at the moment is the ability to appreciate all forms of beauty. The soft, caressing beauty of a clear stream, the striking beauty of a winter's blue sky, the curling, twisted fingers of the winter trees.
Goodness, wonder, kindness, charity, mercy, gratitude.
These are the things that live on, these feelings right here and right now. These are the things that become a part of the spirit, a part of the soul. They change who we are and make us who we will become.
We are who we are. We are who we choose to be.
