Thought for Today
"Man has two creators, his God and himself. The first creator furnishes him the raw materials of his life - the laws and conformity with which he can make that life what he will. The second creator - himself, has powers he rarely realizes. And it is what a man makes of himself that counts."
William George Jordan
Every now and then, my thoughts get pretty deep. During those times, I try to come up with poetic ways of sharing those thoughts. Below is an inspired piece from one of my books, and it kind of goes with the thought above. I hope it touches you the way it did me when the words came to me.
“The
day we can look within ourselves and see our mortality,
yet
feel the worth of our souls,
the
day we can look on others and see the goodness in them
despite
their weaknesses,
the
day we can say no to evil,
despite
the evil-doings of those around us,
when
we can cry with those who suffer,
mourn
with those who bear loss,
and
comfort those who cast your comfort aside,
when
we can see the good in each new day
and
recognize the gifts that come with that day,
when
we can love with a pure heart,
expecting
nothing in return,
and
magnify our valiance to the fullest,
the
day we set aside the cares of the world
and
embrace every good thing with a singleness
of
mind, heart, body, and soul,
ever
faithful, ever vigilant, doing all within
our
power to remain unchanged in all respects,
on
that day, we become more than mere men–
we
become gods
and
we live forever."

I really enjoyed this story, as well as House of Misery, the second story in the series. Not only is Mary an awesome lady, she is a talented writer and I know you will enjoy this romantic mystery series as much as I have.
