I think I've been saying this to myself every successive birthday for the past 5 years, "This year was better than the last." Every year gets better and better. I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of blessings. I feel grace raining down on me with torrential force. I'm covered in love.
Last night surrounded by so many people I call friends and family, I had never felt more complete. It is not that I depend on others to complete me, but we are called to love. We came from love, and we are all seeking love. Love is the beginning and love will be the end. Love sounds a lot like God. As I was surrounded by so many people that I loved, I came to experience a moment of clarity where I couldn't see God with my eyes but I could His footprints in my life. This pastor recently told me that when we meet God the Father in heaven, we will realize that we had known Him all along. He is in the love that we find and have for others. I understood it at the time. But last night I experienced it. I sort of wish my life had ended last night on such a beautiful note.
I just want to thank all the people that were there who gave their time to be with me. I want to thank every one who has been and still is a part of my life. Most especially my best friend Jen whose compassion for the people around her continually challenges me to grow deeper in faith and in love for others.
God is love!
