Well, the explanation came to me today of why simply “No.” as the answer felt right. The message of what felt to me as the explanation of why “No.” came to me through Mom this morning:
The message, as my mostly accurate friend would say, is “Live!” /lyev/
(July 11, 2022 When we drive the back way, there is a marquee I like to read. Church marquees are getting good! I don’t like playful church marquees. I like church marquees that tell me something I know but have never heard it out that way. Yesterday Matt and I were driving to look at metal plants. I can keep four hydrangeas but I cannot keep succulents, why I am going metal. Matt knows not to point out bluebonnets almost as tall as me; I am going metal, not unrealistic. And the marquee read “Unconditional joy.” Yes
I was listening to series Mom linked me to. The title is, “Choosing Blessings or Curses”. In it I heard, “You know you’re blessed when you’re okay when it’s not okay.” Yes That is how I would define unconditional joy: I am okay when it’s not okay. I wrote in an indefinite space about that once, and I am happy to hear it echoed back to me this morning. My grandma once told me, “And just like Grandpa would say: It’s going to be alright. He was always saying that.” Grandpa was speaking in terms of unconditional joy.
Someone also once told me how recognized he is blessed by saying, “…but I’m still happy.”)
