Are You Feeling Lucky?

Last Night I downloaded the free Google Desktop Search engine . One of the button choices given after installation by the creative Google guys was "Are You Lucky?" Later I wrote:

"I am feeling lucky tonight. Lucky in faith, lucky in marriage, lucky in children, lucky in grandkids, lucky in many choices made (not ALL), lucky in life, lucky in love. INCREDIBLY LUCKY.

I have no right to have any of these blessings. Every single one is undeserved. Each, without exception.

The greatest gift I have is faith. It is undeserved, but still a mandate. I cannot not follow where it leads. I live inside this mystery we call God, surrounded, and therefore in a kind of graciousness and humility scarcely grasped but still to be found everywhere.

Noblesse Oblige. I can never give enough in return.

To live in this country with all the many blessings we have today is an incredible blessing.

I am commanded by God to love God totally, unreservedly, heart, mind, soul and strength, and my neighbor as myself. The scarey and risky part is that I know I am given the grace to do that. Even when I know I will fail, mess-up, flub it, but this awareness is not a stopper. I must risk, push the envelope anyway.

This is both humbling and awesome. Amen."
