Pride — A Reflection
When you walk with one you love
One who has lost so much in the past two-plus years
It causes one to pause and reflect
Thankful for the love shown
Thankful for the continued presence
Thankful to be there for him
Thankful for the precious memories we share
As some might say, including me
Getting older can sometimes be a struggle
Watching someone you love age, can also be a struggle
Yet in the midst of it all, love is shared
When this happens, pride goes out the window
This brings me full circle to Thomas Merton
In his book, No Man is an Island, he says the following:
Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.
Lord guide us all through such struggles and the Valleys of the Shadows we encounter
Lord, through the power of your Spirit, make us real ❤️❤️
