Putting Up

We plan something our way, and somebody else find a “better” way.  It is the way of old age, but millions go through that every year.  I “offer it up” as Catholics have done ever since I was a kid.  It is a small sacrifice done as the Virgin requested at Fatima.

With old age comes the realization that I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t even have all the questions.  I need Holy Spirit inspiration on that one.  So we go with what we have left in the fields of memory and alertness, which is less and less each month.

What I do have is faith in a better day.  I know that’s coming as sure as the fall follows the summer.  I pray that I won’t be distracted.
