MONDAY THOUGHT 4/14/08

Ah, yes.  To arise with a smile on our lips and a song in our hearts, our souls soaring effortlessly, like graceful eagles on the thermals of life with confidence and grace. 
 
Yeah, yeah, been there, done that.  And THEN there are those dry-as-dust days, when we scramble to keep our duck-like butts from bouncing along on the hard ground, relying on pure and quivering faith — not a breath of inspiration in the air — when we hope nobody notices us clomping along in clay-footed … clay-footed?  clay-footed what?  Oh, in clay-footed humanness. 
 
My point?  Life and faith aren’t always about inspiration and a heart swelling with conviction and love.  Sometimes, like Moses in the desert, it’s about keeping on … just keeping on.  God bless and enjoy the stumble-and-stagger journey.  God really does know what He’s doing.  It’s not our business to have those answers. — jri
