“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller

Pat and I have been traveling for almost a month now and as we were discussing what we had received from the journey,  the following thoughts came to mind:

It would be a perfect place for a terrorist to hide out. Ted Kaczynski (the Unibomber) would love it here. You may be asking me, why we were there in the first place?  Well, for years, Pat has been telling me about the Trinity River area, and how beautiful it was there.

The fortune read, “Now is a good time for you to explore. Take a vacation.” It fell out as I was changing purses and I studied it with anticipation. We were going on a road trip and I did need to explore—Man, did I!

I found this wonderful article the other day and wanted to share it with you.  As you read it, think about your own life truths.  What do you know that you know? ~ Kathy

One of the advantages of being 70-plus years old is that I can look back at my life and recognize milestones that I call life truths. What is a life truth?

Extravagant Love

“Grace was in all her steps. Heaven in her eye, In every gesture dignity and love.” — John Milton

Last week I was reminded that my engine runs on love.  Without it I don’t get very far.  Lucky me. Sometimes it humbles me to think that I need it to keep going. Other times I feel like I hit the jackpot.  It is not just quirky line in my character that God doodled during a dull moment.  It his way of reminding me, I can’t do anything without him.

So, I will take a deep breath and admit to you that I have been discouraged. It isn’t just one thing, but many little things that sort all ganged up on me at once.  I came into this year dragging my heart behind me.

Maybe you are there with me.

It is an understatement to say that we never know how God will deliver the fuel to keep us going. He is a master at showing up with the goods just in time. I got a picture this week of just how well he knows me and how incredibly creative he is.  A woman who I have never met posted a photo and wrote on my facebook page, “This photo of my daughter and granddaughter’s feet arrived in my E-mail this morning. I sent your book to my daughter, she took it from there. Thanks for your uplifting words.” I laughed out loud. There were the red converse from the cover of my book, Run Like A Girl! How fun!

The next day a package arrived from a woman who I met through a speakers bureau, when I needed someone to fulfill a speaking obligation I had.  She graciously went in my place and we have been friends ever since.  Here is the picture of what was in the package. Handmade refrigerator magnets in a metal tin, spell out Run-Like-A-Girl. How Creative!

These were both acts of love—an inkling of Heaven where our next word will be anticipated and our inner workings known. My wish for you this year is that you get the fuel you need—God’s fun, creative extravagant love.
