...what a blessed life i have lived. thank you, Lord, for all of these people...
and to each of you, thank you for what you have given me. we may have had our falling out, or we may yet be close. circumstances may have arisen that permanently separate us, but i will never forget you. you are part of who i am and, for a moment, no matter how brief, we shared something that no one else can partake in, because it was between me and you and God. nobody else.
as i sat here, wallowing in self pity, watching crappy reruns of crappy tv shows on crappy stations, i remembered 2 things i seem to have forgotten long ago. happiness is a choice of how you meet circumstances, and every choice you make has consequences. whether or not these are bourne by you is another issue; but no action is without effect.
so to all of you who i have offended, lied to, betrayed, belittled, ignored, insulted, or made any other choice that was or is harmful to you, i apologize. and to everyone on this list, i love you...and if you know me, i do not take that word lightly. to each and every one of you, though some may hardly know me, and some could scarcely recognize me, i love you. it is you that have gotten me through my life thus far, and it is you who continue to give me hope. it is you through whom Christ works in the world, and it is because of you that the world is a better place...and most importantly, it is to you whom i owe my life, in some cases in a very literal way.
there are people missing from this list. people whom i dont know where to place chronologically (for that is the rough order of the list) such as allyse anderson. there are others i am sure my mind has forgotten at present, but will never be erased from my heart. nothing can dampen what you have done for me, and how you have shaped me.
i dont deserve the life ive been given. i dont deserve the people ive been graced with. i dont deserve the love ive been shown. but nothing can change the fact that ive been given life, been given people, and been given love...not even i can screw up the past; whatever ive done has been done. you can take yourself away now, but you will never take back what youve given me.
youve given me joy.
shalom.
so go ahead an hate me in the present; because youve loved me in the past...and even if it was all a lie, what i gained from it is truth. thank you.
