This weekend my life opens to a new adventure. I move into my own apartment in a senior apartment complex. It will be different than anything I've lived before, yet the same as all people are at the core human children of God.
So many hands and feet and hearts and prayers have led me through the valley of betrayal. God's Love has enfolded me. Spirit has guided and inspired me every single moment.
Now I will have new experiences, make more friends, and have the comfort of my own place. I will meet people who I likely never would have met if I hadn't moved there. It makes me think of Frost's "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I, I took the one less travelled by..." It will be a place without any trace of Gilbert and the horrifying memories. None of my treasures are mine anymore. All is new courtesy of my wonderful church community. It is a fresh start and up to me to embrace it and celebrate it.
At 85 I begin a new life. I launch into the unknown every day, and I recognize this a larger unknown than the typical day. It is reassuring to know that as always, God will be there with me.
May you too remember that wherever you go God is there with you.
