“Faith in living”

H,

I was thinking today of the incredible things we have in front of us. Now, you know I am always going on about how this is a small blue marble of a planet and a tiny part of a massive universe. This is true. The ‘glorious’ things we do may not echo in eternity in the way we think. They are vital only from our skewed and then limited vantage point. They are big only to our small eyes.

We do not have the material within or without to say how it all connects. We do our part only in faith. We do it knowing there is no logical reason that connects our now to the then we know is coming. We have seen in the past how glory has turned to dust and how dust has turned to glory. All we can do is live in the faith that it will all make sense.

Faith is that place where all things come together in the end. We do not see the parts that make the whole, but we know in faith that there is a story, a picture and a reality being forged from the human experience. To live with that awareness, that small acts can affect the destiny of the universe, is the whole discipline of living in faith.
