Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.
The art of life???Basically I think this means is to pay close attention to all we can to that which happens about us.There is a reason for these happenings,to which I highly doubt we as humans will never fully understand.I believe we are to use them nonethe less in a way which helps us as well as our fellow beings to the best of our ability to do so.
A feeble explanation I am sure but one which I think most people as well as myself struggles with every minute of every day.The point being in the end to do that which God intended.Ahhhh but then who is to say what God intended??? do I need to attain a state of grace to know exactly what God intended??I suppose that one must delve deeper in scripture and discussion with others to truly gather all information in helping reach such a goal.
To me this has always been a difficult process,although thru my marriage for some reason with Denise I find myself asking these questions quite often.Denise and her children come from a much more church/christian upbringing than did I.And I have to say it made quite an impression upon me.
I will keep reading and studying this for the rest of my life I am sure.Perhaps the answers are right in front of me.Only one way to find out and that is with an open mind.It will be a struggle as an open mind is something I have never been accused of...hahahahahaha....stay tuned
