This past weekend was absolutely, positively, without a doubt one of the best weekends I have had in recent memory. It was filled with times well spent with friends, colleagues, and family. It was also time well spent with my God.
Between, and within, the conferences, meeting, lunches, and shopping I found time to be in conversation with people I care about. In between, and within, all the stuff I found time to reflect, time to be active, time to participate, time to listen, time for others, and time for myself. I'm not sure where all this came from, maybe it was always there, but I am grateful for everything that happened this past weekend.
There is one thing each moment of each day had in common; a spirit of love, kindness, acceptance, and love. That's right, each moment of each day was filled with positive people who only had good things to say or do. It was a positiveness that was not only contagious but also held within it the inability to surround itself with anything else. The weekend was so filled with goodness I honestly don't think the feeling of magnificence will be going away any time soon.
On looking back at the weekend and the moments I experienced I can also say they shared one more thing in common; the fact I was not in control. I had two full days of participation and observation. I did not go into the weekend with expectations or to "seek" anything. I had decided to just let things go as they go and they went better than I had hoped they would.
This brings to mind an almost out of date church saying: Let Go, Let God. I let go, and God just took over.
Thank you, God, for my awesome weekend.
