I was watching a TV show and the main character said, "Once upon a time I was a better version of myself."
That struck a chord in me. I used to be able to run. I used to be able to lift heavy things. I never took naps. I used to know how life was supposed to go. Maybe I just thought I knew what life was about and I was carrying it out. Cross the T‘s and dot the I's. Now I am older and everything is more complicated. There are no simple answers anymore.
But, maybe today's version of me is good too. While I can no longer do much of what I used to do, there are some things that I can do. What does it mean today for me to be the best version of me? I think it boils down to loving God and loving others. What good is it to run if we cannot love? What good is it to be smart if we do not love?
A new commandment I give unto you. Love one another.
Jesus
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
