Patience with a difficult person is easier when I remember I have been the difficult person. That memory is useful.
Thank You for the years that didn’t kill me and the mercy that didn’t let me stay the man those years were building.
I’m grateful for the plain days. They taught me that faith is not always a sprint. Sometimes it is just not quitting at 2 p.m.
Peace is the refusal to let the old pull write the next decision. The pull can stay. It doesn’t get a vote.
Tonight I just want to leave the room lighter than I found it. If that’s all the faith I can practice before bed, I’ll take it. Thank You for the chance.
Thank God for the friend who showed up with no advice. Presence without a lecture is a rare kindness.
Jesus said remain. Remaining is less glamorous than arriving. It is also how most fruit actually happens.
Faith is often just the refusal to let the old story be the only story. Some chapters need to stay closed.
Patience with myself on a low morning has made the rest of the day less expensive. Harshness costs more than it produces.
