“One of the most important scientific ideas to emerge in the
20th Century showed that all reality from the atom to the universe
can be understood in terms of relationships.”
Cassandra (from DO NOT BE DECEIVED) struggled with her many difficult relationships—her father, her
classmates, a boyfriend. However, some of her relationships were positive-- a
best friend, a church lady, the witch across the road. She took what she
had—her relationships with the people in her life, the place she lived, her
perceptions of life—and tried to understand what was happening and why. She
goes further and works with the “so what.” In that, what do I do with what has
happened to me; what is my message that can help others?
The above quote provides enough information for a day-long
discussion. Think about the flowers in your back yard, the mountains in the
distance, the brewing thunderstorm, cancer, an emotional outburst. They each
have to do with interactions.Considering all this, what an amazing Creator we have. Knowing this, we can understand things differently.
Psalm 16 reads, “The boundary lines have fallen for me in
pleasant places;…” Cassandra, like you,
had people in her life, she had a place to live and grow up, she had God’s
spirit within her. What she did with all this became her legacy.
Something to think about.
