Long awaited....long needed.
It was more .... more than I foresaw.
My attention .... hyper-acquired.
When time skips tracks to that of the different... the unfamiliar, time itself demands that I stop, survey, and study.
At the end of this week, comes my day of birth.
God sent my soul to this planet
I am captivated by that one thought.
Sent. Planned. Purposed.
Nearly a half century....lived.
LIVED.
Even as I begin to celebrate the completion of what was....
This past week gave me pause to celebrate that which is to come.
I sat on the beach. There, He sat with me.
He has prepared me to "soul smile".... not just quick passing smiles that last but a flicker.... but the kind that comes home.... to roost.
Tenacity and fortitude out of necessity have been my constant companions these nearly fifty years.
Faithful comrades; they forever will be, readied, yet furloughed.
Jubliee came a touch early.
Adonai be praised......
Whatever will the next 50+ years hold....
With Him at the helm.... I can only imagine...
and smile.
