the days that you've been given
were made for something beautiful
Life-don't let it pass you by
because you were created for something beautiful."
Matthew West and Chance Scoggins
Natalie Grant sings this song on her Awaken release. Driving back to Winnipeg tonight, passing these windmills at sunset, I listened to it for the first time. I had plenty of time to do some thinking and this song made me grateful for my life. I had just spent the weekend with people who had been part of my life at life-shaping moments.
My friend Bob was part of my Sojourners Community experience and catching up with him ever so briefly was great. I reminisced as I drove along about some moments with that Community and all the good things that happened to me there. Many people I met that year remain dear to me, even if I do not see them.
I crammed an intense visit with my women friends in Minneapolis. We need about a week so that we do not stay up late every night, engaging in deep thoughts. I love that we can share our opinions and not offend the others. These are women with wisdom and strength who I honestly admire.
All these lives are about making something beautiful. Not one of these people is letting life pass them by. They are living fully and genuinely. I love that. My life is more beautiful because they have touched it.
How are you living your life beautifully?
Peace,
Suzanne
