you tell me. I've been and I'm still on a long promisee, long planned eagerly awaited trip. I finally realised if not now, then when? The gets laid plans and all that, the trip was planned within an inch of it's life. Plans were abandoned on day two. To date I've seen more buzzards to thepoint they have become unremarkable. Yesterday I saw a sea eagle. Today I saw another. But most important, I paused on the wqy to the ferry at ardnamurchan, lay on my back on the grass and looked straight up at a limitless sky, blue as blue could be, white clouds drifting lazily, the sun beaming down. I looked out across the bay and saw the sun glittering on a patch of sea, which mirrored the sky. I looked back to the sky and let the tears roll. I am as significant as a grain of sand. I am but a drop in God's ocean. But I mean as much as a tear in a baby's eye. I am a person of worth. I will make my plans, I will change my plans, I will take the actions and if I can but fit myself to citcumstances as they are today, then all will be well. All I have to do is remember my wants mean nothing in the grand plan. If I get what I want then I got it not as a reward but as the fulfilment of a need. Of myself I am nothing. Thy will be done, I'll learn to live with it.

Great share Bill...you are certainly connected spiritually. Grain of sand of course and a support to His sandals. You speak of where I have been also...its a spiritual awakening. The tears told me what my spirit was feeling; and that was gratitude.
Like what you said, too, Jerry, about the grains of sand supporting His sandals. I'm crashing early tonight and these posts are a great send-off!! Thanks guys!
You're right about one thing, my friend, and that is this: "you are a person of worth". You can call it an epiphany, spiritual awakening, deep seeded journey or however you choose to define it, but one thing is abundantly clear and something you spoke about so eloquently in your testimony and that is your humble reassurance of divine love.
Thanks...for reminding me of this great virtue and all things divinely related -ODAAT.
~God bless~
