Greetings Dear Reader,
Time is the crucible in which we burn. The purpose of the crucible is to burn away
that which does not belong. It renders
what remains pure and clean. I suppose I
could stop with that but you know that I will not.
We are all given the same amount of time each day. We waste it complaining about things we
cannot change or warring about the past.
We sacrifice relationships to selfishness and grudges Instead of valuing
the time we have with each other. We
allow our differences to define us in the wrong way.
I am only given so many moments in each day. I can rehearse the past in my mind and argue
with it silently. I can bring up things
with others to rehash the past or I can love them in the moment no matter what
they say or do. I can choose to invest
those same moments in thinking well about how I can make that time something
eternal. The arguments in my head must
be turned conversations of love, forgiveness, repentance, and faith. I must hold them with my fallen nature and
with the Father.
When I am in those moments where others are not following n
faith, I must be certain to seek Christ in that moment. I have to think and act in love. I must speak out of love and compassion. I am not going to make real progress unless I
focus every grain in the pinch as it possesses me on love for the Father and my
fellow travelers.
This does not mitigate the pain but it doe allow me to find
peace in the pain. It gives me higher
ground to on which to travel. It gives
me a constant to follow that is irresistible.
I am aware of what I am without focus on the love and compassion of
Jesus. I understand that I can choose to
live in the crucible miserable over the past instead of living in and loving in
the moment. I hope, Dear Reader that you
and I can agree to live in each grain of time as those being refined to
love. It will make things much easier
for all of us.
As the sands of time fall through the pinch, I leave a
footprint in each moment. I am longing
to only leave impressions worth following going forward. If you
want to walk with me you are always welcome.
There is always a place for you with me Dear Reader.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a
home owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
