First: this is a follow-up to the previous post about "The Ten Commandments." So if you haven't read it, this one won't make much sense. =)
So, yeah ... an interesting blessing today, first while walking to church and then very powerfully during the sacrament. I was "treated" to a nauseating panorama of the realities I've been dealing with for the past 3 1/2 years, and flashbacks to some of the more unendurable moments I've endured. As I said ... not the kind of thing one would typically consider a blessing. =P
But it really was. It helped me to remember that while this latest kick in the pants *feels* like being kicked out of Egypt afresh, the reality is that I've been wandering through that desert for quite some time. And I am sooooooo close to Midian now ... it is literally just steps away.
Granted, I don't know exactly what I will find there. But there WILL be abundant wells, and there WILL be date trees. Meaning the fruit, of course -- I don't expect that suitors will grow on trees there. =P
And there will be a righteous people that will take me in. And there will be shepherding work to be done, and I will jump right in. And I will find joy therein.
Merci Dieu. (Maybe I should learn how to say that in ancient Hebrew, if I'm going to stick to this Ten Commandments theme ...)
