Life Is Good

"It does not matter if we are the newborn taking its first breath or someone who has many years of history behind us, God offers us the same, consistent fullness present throughout the cosmos.  We always have the same opportunity to receive as much or as little as we will." Margaret Stortz

A person reads similar thoughts these days.  That life is good, always good, and that it is merely our perception and orientation which makes the difference.  What if that is true?  If you, like me, can think of many examples of what we might describe as "bad" or "lack", then it is harder to believe that God offers us the same consistent fullness always.  We can look at our loved one suffering, or at ourselves in the position of caregiver and think that life is not so great, but that thought would be error.  Life, with all of its ups and downs and challenges, is inherently good.  I think it benefits us to believe that.
