What shall we then say…

Well I had thought of three profound things to put in this post. It could be that I ought to only come up with one at a time. Are things less profound when they are together? One of the characteristics of “profound” in my opinion is that it is rare. So they might lose some of their profoundness by being put together. Two are from C.S. Lewis and one from a lady at church. They all have to do with religion. I am only going to put one in now. It is from The Great Divorce:

There are only two kinds of people in the end: Those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, in the end, “Thy will be done.”

It reminds me of the words to a hymn: “Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, uttered or unexpressed.” I have always taken comfort in those words, feeling that I have good desires and for the most part I do. However this thought by Mr. Lewis puts a different slant on it. I do have some work to do to get my will in line with the Lord’s in all things and that’s just the things that I am already aware of. It’s not too frightening (or is it?) but I wonder what am I waiting for?

It is something to think about.

I read something a short time ago that was one of the most profound things I’ve seen. It made me want to do a post. I will let it be on its own post, though. So now that I’m back, I have to say I’m glad I didn’t really forget my password because it had been so long since I wrote. I thought maybe I had but it worked. Whew! Secondly, a lot has changed on here: format, etc. but that’s okay. I think I can figure it out.

I’m not sure of all the reasons why I stopped writing. It’s hard work. I’m very busy. It takes me a lot of time. But whatever the reason, this is such an opportunity just to have a way to practice communicating. Sometimes I think maybe I was never meant to “speak.” I mean other than the normal daily living kind of speaking, but it is such an aspiration of mine to be able to say things well–for lack of a better way to say it. Or at least to be able to express adequately what I have to say. I think I was inspired to pick my blog title as “What shall we then say?” That sure is the question for me!

Well we’ll see what happens.
