Greetings Dear Reader,
For those of you who might care to know, I have a graduate
degree in adult education. This does not
matter that much but in that body of learning is the idea that we are life-long
learners. The core is to be in pursuit
of knowledge all of our lives.
This will seem like a large gear shift but I will tie it
together. I think that I have spent more
time crying over the last two months than I have all my life. At the core of that is realizing how much I
still have to learn about being a child and being a father. At the heart of it is the purging of pains I
have carried in my heart for as long as I can recall.
Getting in touch with these wounds has helped me to see them
in others more clearly. It is the wounds
from our early years that keep us from seeing the Father for the loving, tender
God that he is. Each morning as I sit
alone in prayer, I am asking the Father to teach me how to let him love me as a
Father. It is something we all need to
learn; some more than others.
In that learning I am also finding out how to be at peace
being alone. Being alone has always been
my greatest fear. It devours me or at
least it used to devour me. Now, as I
spend hours alone seeking the face of my Father, it is becoming something that I
value. I do not yet love it but I am not
as pained by it either.
I am over fifty and just now learning how to be a CHILD of
God. It is in this life-long journey of
learning that I think I am finding the richest experience. There are tears, pain, and still fear. There is also, however, hope and
learning.
There is deeper understanding and the wisdom of others. I am grateful that the Father wishes for us
to learn from him our entire lives. I am
thankful for the stories that are being written in my life even now. I hope that they encourage you Dear Reader. Please share one or two with me as we walk.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
