For this Sunday Scribblings prompt, I was compelled to look at my roots, my faith. I learned lessons about faith as a young child, and at times struggled with what it really means to me. I've been disappointed in people who proclaimed their Christianity, yet seemed to turn a blind eye to those who were hurting, weak, different, or just not good enough. I've also had to acknowledge that same tendency exists in me. I think we all look at the world through somewhat biased eyes. Our vision is tainted by whatever our teachings have been. I'm on a continuing journey to find who my best self is, while walking in my faith. I hope I'm always growing into a more Godlike person, who leaves the judging to my creator. The most important lesson for me is that I believe in an awesome, loving and forgiving God. My hope is, I remember to treat those I meet along the way with the same love and forgiveness I desire.
The Lesson
One thing, above all else
A lesson, never growing old
One thing to remember
No matter what else you've been told
One thing, lights every darkness
And can heal a broken heart
One thing, that lasts forever
My God, how great Thou art

Good Morning Nita Jo Sweetie...
What a beautiful write this morning, and so true of each of us. We wouldn't be human if our visions weren't somewhat tainted by one thing or another. Your Christianity shines through your writes dear friend.
Have a glorious day. I wish you lived closer and could come for fresh lemon tea and a slice of lemon pie as well. We could sit and visit for hours. I can hear the laughter in my mind.
Many hugs and much love, Sherry
A heartfelt piece..it radiates comfort and sense of 'all being well'..no matter..Jae
There is something awe inspiringly beautiful in those words "My God, how great Thou art" when we sing them. They are a reminder that no matter what achievements we make everything is humbled by our unknowing.
Sweet post indeed Miz Nita!!
