PERFECT?


I was meditating on "the perfect life" this morning...

If I was perfect...
If my husband was perfect...
If my kids were perfect...
If my house was perfect...
If my neighborhood was perfect...
If my church was perfect...
If my friends were perfect...

There would be no desire for HEAVEN...

No striving for being a better person...
A better wife...
A better mom...
A better housekeeper...
A better neighbor...
A better Christian...
A better friend...

Suffering is a part of every ones life...it is what you do with it that makes you different...we must embrace the struggles to become a better person and change the world around us. It takes starting over each day with Christ on your side to help you through. May God grant me the strength and wisdom to be the best (not perfect) person I can be!!! With me, it especially means keeping my mouth shut and my ears open to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit!!!

THY WILL BE DONE!!! +JMJ+

Amen! I had this feeling after the retreat and God told me to strive for my desires right where I am.
