Our
Purpose
An
Excerpt from Lessons in Living
At times along the way we stumble, we stub our toes, we scrape our
knees. We may say or do things that hurt ourselves or
others. A selfish act or careless remark may injure a lover
or friend. And so we pause to examine the wound, apply the
salve and journey on. As we learn the lessons of our journey
and carry them forward with us, we become more agile, our feet
more sure. We not only avoid the pitfalls, but the very path
also gets easier. Even when it takes us over steep, rugged
terrain, we must recognize that this, too, is a part of life's
landscape. We must remember that such terrain is fleeting,
that the scenery will eventually change. The rocks and
ridges along the difficult parts of the path are strengthening us
and preparing us for whatever lies ahead. And so each day of
our journey we should affirm for ourselves: Whatever I
find along my path, I will ask God how to use. As we
encounter obstacles, let them inspire our creativity. If we
lose a valued possession, let us recognize that God is clearing a
space in our lives for something of greater value or, more
important, reminding us to keep material things in their proper
perspective so that we don't lose sight of our purpose in
life: to embrace our divinity and learn to love.

You
must learn day by day, year by year to broaden your horizon. The
more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you
enjoy,
the more you are indignant about--the more you have left when
anything happens.
