Something Good Is About
To Happen
I have a
little dilemma here; I have an early flight and a big concept to share, so I’m
going to break it down as parsimoniously as possible. (I know; I dropped a 5
dollar word in a 2 dollar sentence.)
Have you ever noticed that when
everything is going well, like your laundry is all clean, the kids are acting
right and you got your bills paid on time, that you begin to worry?
“Uh oh,
something bad is about to happen.” You mumble to yourself. Then you begin to brace yourself for the self-fulfilling prophecy you’ve
already planned for and when things go wrong just like you expected, you get
to be right.
It’s good to
look ahead; it’s even more wonderful to store up for winter, but we have been living like our enslaved
ancestors on the day after Juneteenth who danced and celebrated the night
before, but woke up saying “I know this can’t be true; there's no way that I've been set free.”
What if we truly lived in the present
now and expected only good?
What if we believed that all things
were possible, simply because we believed?
What if we built our hopes on things
eternal?
What if God’s will is done on earth just as it is in
heaven?
Would we
even want to know, or would we want to keep expecting the worse rejoicing then
we proved our own selves right right?
Heavy stuff,
I know. But I have a plane to catch and a belief that it will take-off and
land.
Be joyous, uplifted and
expectant of nothing but infinite good.

You are killing me softly with this one today, Bertice. Thanks, I needed that! <3
ReplyDeleteAwesome Bertice! Love how you break it down for us! Hugs, Adrienne
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Hard to do this daily, especially if you are a bit of a worrier. As you say, "live in the present and expect only good" it becomes easier when the big bumps throw us off-course. (Be wary of "what you seek", however... it could cost you your "WILL") Ah. This could be a good story. <3
