Contemplative

psyche29I got my second issue of my Angels magazine today.
And I read it through, cover to cover. I've been reading it for months, every time we go to Mikey's grandparents' house; so Bunny (Mikey's grandmother) gave me my own subscription for Christmas.
It's always so incredible, the things that prayer can accomplish. You'd think I'd do it more often myself, but it's a very...difficult, I suppose...thing for me to do. Nevertheless, it continually floors me, what faith and hope and love can do. I can only hope that someday I can draw from that well as easily as others can. In the meantime, all I can do is live the best I know how: find the good and the beauty in life and in others, and remind myself often that God has a purpose for me, a plan, whether or not I know what it is.
So I've been a bit contemplative this evening, searching out various things online that fit my mood. And I was on Checkmated, and rummaging through my stories I've marked as favorites, and came across one called "In the Twinkling of an Eye." (Link here: http://www.checkmated.com/story.php?story=8357 )
It's so beautifully written, and the scripture at the end ties the whole thing together. Read it, if you like - and tell me your thoughts.
Or don't. Some things call to me more deeply, more elementally, than they do to others. Either way, it's a good story. ;)

Anyway, I feel you.
