August 8 – Daily Feast
Life is complicated, no doubt about it. We start something and it leads us into something else – and that into another thing, and we ask, “How did this happen?” On the other hand, we wouldn’t like it any better if we were confined to a treadmill that goes and goes but gets nowhere. It is life lived at a time when order as we once knew it, is nonexistent. It helps to go back to where we started and take each bend and turn and change things – even if we have to admit we were wrong and ask someone to forgive us. All is not lost, and it helps to admit we made moves that were wrong. And even against our most selfish nature – begin to make them right.
~ Do not wrong or hate your neighbor; for it is not he that you wrong: You wrong yourself. ~
