Go Well

Yesterday morning:

Remember Well: …Chatting with Jack about good people, good memories. Sometimes my memories just focus on the bad stuff… the need to remember well.

Let Go Well: We talked about restrictions brought by age and infirmity. Things we used to do but can’t do now… I can live with regret, focus on my inadequacies. Sometimes I must let go – and let go well.

Yesterday afternoon:

Choose Well: …Talking with Dennis about appointing a youth leader at church – how we make the appointment, the qualities and gifts needed, the timing… In life’s decisions, big and small, needing to choose well.

Grieve Well: …Seeing David and Sally walking without their dog Billy. I learnt that Billy had died last week. They really miss him. We remembered Billy with sadness and warmth… Grieve well.

Leave Well: …Considering Grandson-Luca’s last week at Primary School. He’s looking forward to next week’s transition week at High School. There have been end of year celebrations… Leave well

Yesterday evening:

Wait Well: …Reading Psalm 130 with a group of friends… focusing on ‘I wait for the Lord…’ We talked about how difficult it is to be patient… I’m still learning to wait well.

Forgive Well: We discussed bad stuff that has happened in our past. Life changing events, that we can’t change, that have left scars. It’s not just about ‘forgive’, but forgive well.

Disagree Well: The discussion continued… including Labour’s plans for legislation regarding gender identity. We didn’t agree with each other…

This Morning:

…Reading, ‘How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.’ Unity means that we disagree well.

Encourage Well: …Reading, ‘And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds…’ We’re to encourage well.

Go Well: Remembering the old hymn:

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul... Go well.
