21 February – The pastoral text of Fr Reuter is this: When you wake each morning, it is a new day. A new life. A beautiful new adventure. 17 words that capture a beautiful attitude.
Now, I’ll try to capture the essence of those 17 in 5 words: A beautiful new adventure anyway! And then I’m going to explain it in more than 17 words:
That attitude is of surrender, acceptance, welcome, immersion, exploration, neighborliness, family-ness, wide-eyed-ness, earful-ness, heart-fullness, innocence, guilelessness, goodwill, fenceless-ness, braveheart-ness, thankfulness. It is, what else can I say, of an embrace.
That’s the theory. Now the practice:
Like not insisting that you are right even if you know you are. Anticipating a problem in the future arising from what you allowed to happen today and yet looking forward with joy anyway.
“Like not insisting that you are right even if you know you are. Anticipating a problem in the future arising from what you allowed to happen today and yet looking forward with joy anyway. ”
-That’s a great principle to live by!, Thank you very much! That’s just what I needed!
