Things I learned and relearned in 2009 |
I have found it helpful to take a few moments every once in a while to reflect back and consider the things I have learned and, oftentimes, relearned. Here is a partial list of what God, life and many of you have taught me or reminded me of this past year.
- God is in charge. Any questions?
- Dogs can teach us a lot about how to love unconditionally.
- Kids and grandkids are some of the best gifts God gives us.
- Driving an old, junky car on purpose is a pretty cool thing.
- The music of Lynyrd Skynryd and the Alman Brothers lives on.
- I never fail to learn something new when I study the scriptures.
- Depression can be debilating.
- It is really, really difficult (perhaps impossible) to define life in "black and white."
- Diversity is a beautiful thing. It is pleasing to God also.
- My marriage just keeps getting better.
- I married above my potential.
- Never, never take your health for granted. If you don't do anything about your health, it WILL decline.
- None of us is perfect, except through God's grace.
- Relationships must be nurtured and the reward is phenominal.
- It is a blessing to experience the world through the eyes of a 5 year old.
- It is important to be content in life. But, being content is not the same as settling for less.
- God most definately has a sense of humor.
- God rarely reveals what He has planned, but He does reveal who He is.
- Instead of worry about who God will forgive and who He will not, we should pray He forgives us all.
- God has a purpose and plan for everyone and real happiness only comes when we are aligned with His plan and purpose.
- I need others and others need me.
- God loves me just the way I am, but too much to leave me that way.
I wonder what you and I will learn and relearn this coming year? Peace in 2010, Kenny |
