Laying on a raft and looking up the sky yesterday, I started thinking. I remembered some years ago an great aunt, on our Dad's side, told Joe and I that "we would do great things." Now as far as I'm concerned, my brother has done a great job of filling that statement. He has done great things through his art, church and some other activities. As for myself, I have been searching for what that is. But back to the start....
I was thinking, what is it that God has for me to be great at? Then it kind of smacked me on the head. Maybe the one thing I am supposed to be great at is right under my nose. Its my home, my life, my family. Its getting this marriage right, its being who I am and enjoying it. Its living with Crohn's and making the most of it,not letting it beat me. All the other interests, are all secondary. So what if I never find that special ability.Then again maybe I already found it and am now starting to understand.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice compliment Brian. There are things that you already do "greatly" that the rest of us aren't quite equipped for . Perseverence come to mind....
ReplyDeleteDear son, I am glad that you finally figured this out, time to stop beating yourself in the head trying to figure out your purpose. You are fulfilling it and doing a wonderful job!
