The Story That Sums It Up

So much of what I have been studying lately pushes me to own my part in the world and then to accept Christs mercy... to not waste time with blaming, admitting what I don't know about the big stuff in life... This story came to my attention AGAIN and it so simply sums up what I am chewing on.

"When the TIMES invited several eminent authors to write essays on the theme "What's Wrong with the World?" Chesterton's contribution took the form of a letter:

Dear Sirs, I am. Sincerely yours, G. K. Chesterton

Chesterton here combined wit with a serious point – that of fallen human nature and humility."

May I take this idea as a jumping point and not be so angry about things that come my way but to think beyond myself, having empathy for others and trust in Christs ultimate goal. May I live love here and now, with the understanding that it isn't a perfect world but the perfect way to prepare all of us for the perfect world to come. I feel like this is a big step on my road to being a woman of thankful heart, a woman who is not in denial about how hard life IS but has happiness in her Lord through its ups and downs.
