Wow, 102 that's pretty amazing, and wonderful that she maintains such a positive attitude. How I am doing is questionable, my life is so unmanageable and the dysfunctional insanity around me sometimes gets to me. But then I can see my own dysfunction and insanity as well and I realize I have no ground to stand on except in being a witness to these things, and not sitting in judgement of the other people involved, or even myself. Still, sometimes the actions of others hurt me, and it is difficult to always find forgiveness right away. My expectations must be out of line. Or, I wonder what God would have me do, if anything, to make the situation better, besides having acceptance and forgiveness, is there something practical I can do to lessen the dysfunction and insanity I witness and/or get caught up in around me? And if I knew what it was, would I be willing to do it? I feel so unequal to the task, and see just by typing that that I expect to be able to do things on my own power even though I know it would be through Him that anything would change. We live in such a crazy world... I don't want to say all these things "out loud" but that is the truth of what I think right now. I feel fractured, and then I feel guilty saying that because I have so many blessings to be counted. On the other hand it is in this broken state that we realize most fully our need of Jesus. That is the positive thought I will take away from all of this. Thank you for asking.
