For a very important date. No time to say Hello, Goodbye, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!” (Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll as spoken by the White Rabbitt as he runs down a hole into which Alice follows.) 

Ever feel that way? I do. I do right now because I don’t have my blog finished (this will be the blog…); I don’t have the kitchen cleaned up, I have gotten the back lanai settled for our exit on Monday and I need to make dinner.  

Don’t feel sorry for me. I have been this way all my life. I’m a crisis junkie. I need the pressure to activate my energy and get me going. However, as I age, I wish that I could change this mode of behavior. There is a special person that I am going to talk with right now. 

I take a time out, sit down in a quiet space and ask for the Holy Spirit’s intervention. And I get it! I may be driving down the dangerous SR 200 road or frantically going from task to task in my house, but God stops my anxiety and reminds me how to approach and complete my work. He always has. 

I am so grateful for the unconditional love that the Triune God pours down on me all the time. I can reach out to any and all of the three persons in God and leave all my issues at their feet. I still must do the work (“buy the ticket”) but the work is done with a renewed attitude of hope and love. Everything will fall into place. 

Thank you, Lord of All, for loving us in that unconditional manner. Help us all to accept this grace so freely given. 

Now, I have to go make dinner.
