Adios DR
This is a monumental occasion; an unprecedented event which has been topped by no other! Unmatched, unsurpassed…my first blog entry! Wow!
Thanks to Ade, I am posting my thoughts and musings on the internet for all who may care to take the time to read. Many of you will know that I am on my honeymoon with new (first) wife Ade; not to say there’ll be a second or third wife for that matter-God forbid. Well, we are coming to the end of what has been a beautiful scape of space and time.
I spent this morning stretching with Ade, in which she intermittently slapped at random bugs, discussed bible topics turned into fictional works (The Shack) and prepared lunch for the plane journey-saltfish, coconut seasoned rice and fried plantain…mmm. Fast forward and I’m now sitting here at the laptop with the hum of an overhead fan, the distant murmur of Spanish tones and occasional sounds of a child’s voice; the perfect time for reflection…
Here’s what I have learned and affirmed:
- Show grace to one another at all times. Regardless of who is right (usually I) or wrong (usually…). Lacking inspiration for grace? Look to the act of God through the risen one, Christ
- Enjoy every moment; laugh when you feel it, eat good food when you’re hungry, see sights when there is opportunity. Enough said
- Take time to be still. No phone conversation, no music, no TV. Just you and all that lies within
- If you are blessed with a special mate, take time to hold them, kiss them and just be lovingly affectionate
- Take time to immerse yourself in God’s word, prayer and being open to the holy spirit, the great counsellor
- Correct in love…always. No need for harsh words, or angry and accusatory tones. Remember, it’s not what you say but how you say what matters sometimes
- Spread love. No hippy, 70s free love vibe with weed and acid but a sincere, pure love for all humanity.
I won’t be cheesy and have a top ten list because life is not always evened into neat packages!
I’m done.
God bless All,
Stay posted for the next entry
