waking up

 My friend Joe gave me a Christmas card that probably started this writing. I couldn't even acknowledge what it meant when he gave it to me. When I came home, I read it again and again. It was a me I had forgotten. And I didn't think I deserved such a card.

I love life and God. All through my life, I have just wanted everyone else to know about my love of life and the Lord. There were times when I was lost, and in that loss, I almost lost Him and my life.

Can you lose your life without dying? Oh yes, you most certainly can. And I did not once but several times. Each time, I lost God. Each time, I found my way back. That is why I continue. He must have thought I was worth it. 

My life has seen so much grief, love, and pain. I never thanked Him enough for dragging me out of the mire kicking and screaming. Each day I hope to help others to know His forgiveness.
