Yesterday was an emotional day. I was sad about Sept. 11th events of eleven years ago. The night before I'd watched a number of programs and the saddest were the phone calls made by people caught in the towers.As I backed out of my garage I caught the passenger side mirror and cracked it! Toyotown said I was lucky it wasn't the casing that needed replacement only the glass (cheaper). I was at Tim Hortons for lunch and spilled my drink all over the table. I dropped something at home and basically I was off balance. I went bowling with friends last night and after four frames my score was 2! (Well it's my prerogative to blame that on my emotional state as well!)
Emily Cady in Lessons in Truth writes, "All joy and strength and good spring up from a fountain within one's own being; and if we only knew this truth we should know that, because God in us is the fountain out of which springs all of our good, nothing that anyone does or says, or fails to do or say, can take away our joy and good. "
I know these words to be truth. I am the one who controls my thoughts and therefore my emotions. I can choose the next best thought. I don't have to stay in my funk. I have the power to lift myself out. And I am human and even though I know there is Divine Order unfolding around me, I can get upset about the chaos that makes it so. We spiritual beings aren't here to hide our humanity but to live it and use our spirituality to get through it.
