We move along in life and now and then
come into a potentially confrontational situation
that we may not be able to handle successfully.
We are representing not only ourselves but
many around the world who have the same feeling;
along with those who went before us, who fought for
the same goals. With a feeling of trepidation
we proceed, carrying with us the goals that
they could not accomplish. When I am gone, the
younger ones will do the same for me. We do
not ty change the will of God to make things easier.
We try to align everyone with the greater purpose.
Whatever the results, whether minor success
or utter disaster, we hope to bear it well.
A book might burn, the steeple might fall, but
the light will endure at the end of it all.
So, we carry on with our task and take the journey
not knowing where it will take us, but we follow
the path and our intuition and instincts will prevail if
we do not forget Who we are working for.
You get encouraged by those who know what
you are up to and why you are doing it and at
the same time lied to by those who wish to
interfere with what you are doing because
they have a different agenda. We keep
prodding without knowing how successful
we have been. It will never be ours to know.
We can look at pictures and listen to the news
and surmise to some extent, but in reality we,
because we are growing old, have to pass
the work on to those younger who have
the same ideals. Now we sit in our chairs
or rockers and ponder. We did our best work
and may now be crying out for that distant
home knowing that our light may have been
too dim and worth nothing at all. But we
planted a grain and others have the privilege
of watching it grow. He will provide a brighter light.
