Doing Life

Doing life.  Right?  How does one do life?  It's a long journey.  Childhood, youth, teens, young adults and then of course adults.


What the hell?  Then you die.







 Yes, but there's a long time between birth and life. And a whole lot of hope. Hope is the key isn't it?  It has to be. If not why bother?  You tell me.



 I'm now a mother of grown adults.  And it's no different from being a mother of tiny kids.  I still feel as though I'm in my teens.  My ideals, my hopes, my dreams. But I'm not.  I'm in my sixties. Yeah, that's right...my sixties. Where did life go? Why so little time and why did it take me this long.





 
We can't separate ourselves from anyone. If we think we can we're living a lie.  It's not true. It's not the way God made it. That's why he told us to love our enemies. If we don't, we will only not love ourselves. And if we don't love ourselves, then ....well....then there leaves only a tiny space for hope. To me hope is life, it's what keeps us alive.



On this Easter  I want to proclaim my love of Christ and his sacrifice. I want to say that He is very  personal to me...my love, my friend, my God my HOPE.  Life is rough...there is little hope without him. I  hope you choose to look to HIM as your hope. You won't be disappointed. You may be lonely, you may feel like a failure, you may be sad, but you will have hope.



I know that dying is scary to us
but everybody do it one, two, three
On the sidewalk, the dandelion
is reaching from a crack up to the sun .
