Today was a wonderful day of connection. I am really grateful for my life here in Jersey. I am so grateful for the many people around me, who genuinely love me. I am so grateful I am almost done with the final draft of my novel. I worked on it some today. Unusual for a Sunday, but I figure I get Thanksgiving off, so I can work this weekend. So grateful to be almost done.
I am working on building bridges in my relationships. One of the things my counselor is working on big time in my life is helping me be safe in situations. It is interesting to engage my life in this way. For some reason a few days ago, I asked myself what it would take to make me feel safe in certain situations. Then I started taking action to create that scenario.
I also realized again today that I often think other people do not deserve grace, but I do. I often think I am pretty high and mighty and others are a problem. I often think I am the one sinned against, but not the sinner. That is not what He says. Though, of course, I am now a saint not a sinner, but what I mean to say is often I think I don’t sin.
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. – Romans 3:23-24
