Time seems to be moving so fast, I was a teenager the other day now I am in my forties. Yet the knowledge I have acquired over the years has help me to become the man I am today. That knowledge came from trials and errors, successes and failures and some of the scars from those life battles will stay with me forever, but that’s ok, they will be a constant reminder of what it took to get to where I am and where I want to be.
Hurt, pain, discomfort, lack of trust and anger are not catalyst for failure but catapults for success, they come to let us know that we are not in the place or relationship we should be. They tell us something is wrong, get up, open your eyes and move. But we still ignore the warning and end up causing harm to ourselves and other in the process.
So my friends, let us embrace what this wonderful life has to offer, and use the gifts given to us to help direct our paths and the decision we make knowing that GOD, MOTHER/FATHER EARTH, THE INTELIGENT DESIGN, ALLAH, THE ANCIENT OF DAYS, GRAND FATHER speaks to us through our pain, our hurt, our discomfort, our sickness and our broken hearts.
Have a wonderful year!
Rev. Bernard R Pilgrim
