Since my last blog submission
my computer died, and I have not looked at one response, like or dislike. I am ashamed. I never submit until I’ve sat on a pre-submission
for at least 3 or 4 days and transformed it to what I really want it to
stay. Last time I had this
incredible sense of urgency to just get it out there. Not my style.
The underlying problem: I have one set of
doctors telling me there are some months left for me, and another set saying
weeks; there is a bit of pressure on.
I’m still holding out for the miracle on earth… this thing still happens. Yet it leaves me with an urgency to get everything done, and fast.
So I sent it, with some
regret, undone. I will not change it, rather
correct a serious omission -
Grace.
I ask forgiveness of all of you who have moved passed
the stage, or matured through the stage of marriage being simply, "blood, tears, sweat, and poop" and also to those who are not
faking/lying.
Because they found Jesus’
way. We do finally look away from
the years of “Let me explain again why I do what I do, and let me please keep fixing
you.”
We finally ask Jesus – How do
you “do” relationship? He
responds, “What have you seen?” “Well,
I see Grace. I blow it; you love
me. You overlook my mess, and you
love the new creation that is You in Me.
You never condemn me. You
laugh, you hold me, you pick me up.
You don’t blame me; you get me. You forgive and NEVER take offense.”
He tells me to do the same
with others.
Life of Grace. In marriage it so refreshing. No offense. ah. Laughter returns. Freedom returns. Kindness reigns. Peace rests. This is the marriage I do see in others, once they gave up
the “fix-it” and “self-defense jobs.”
This is what Dave and I are living in the midst of ….in sickness.
This is how the last blog is
now ending.
Thanks for listening. Sorry for the offense. Yet, in fact, with Grace, no offense
was taken I’m sure.
