i have been here before. I reckon this is my 28th time.
Everytime it feels different. So many times i have come here thinking i know everything only to come back a year later and look back at how unwise i had been a year ago.
And so on...
Coming here 28 times is by no means a milestone,but then several people have come a few times and never returned. I dare not say or think i am better than they are.
It's by God's grace alone. He gives brand new blessings every morning,never repeating yesterday's blessings.
As i stand here today i am so happy. If i have nothing else, i have hope.
Not just a hope that things will be better, but an unshakeable assurance that they are certain to be.
Between now and when i come back here again [by God's grace], i want to live life appreciating the things i have been blessed with, appreciating my good fortune and not moaning when things dont go as i want.
I resolve to take nothing for granted.
I pledge to bless those i come in contact with just as i have been blessed.
I will make a conscious effort to affect those i come in contact with, positively.
Dear God, you have orchestrated my life's journey up till now.
Of tomorrow, i am not afraid.
The picture? Irrelevant.
