Well, summer has come to pretty much the end. I have enjoyed basking in the sun, hiking, kayaking, shopping, visiting, entertaining and so much more. What a wonderful season for friends and family visits.
So I finished reading The Shack at the beginning of Sept and still contemplate it daily. Somehow I think that we (rather I) only use a small portion of our brains to fully understand about life and why God put us here. I keep trying to look deeper in my brain to find that small part that I have not yet discovered. Maybe if I can roll my eyes back just right while thinking of nothing - I can achieve greater awareness - lol. I don't know... but looking at the whole scheme of things, we must look so pathetic going about life making silly mistakes and stumbling along until we finally learn one small lesson at a time. Whether the lesson is forgiveness, kindness, patience, hope, perspective and so on.
Maybe that is our ultimate purpose: To learn each day small lessons that will build our intimacy with Him. Even through our pathetic lives He loves us deeply and is willing to stick by and guide us gently like a shepherd.
