Finding Our Place in His Story
So i read a quote today that struck me.....
"We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say - and to feel - Yes, that's the way it is, or at least that's the way I feel it. You are not as alone as you thought."
- John Steinbeck
I am not sure of Steinbeck's theology....but his thoughts resonate with what I find true of most of us. People are very lonely, even in our 'connected' generation (facebook anyone?). It's nice to feel normal, it's nice to know I am not alone!
How about you? are you connected? or are you surrounded but on your own little island of isolation?
One of those light bulbs moments was when I realized that my story is part of an even bigger story! No more meaningless....no more loneliness. What about you.....what role has God played in your story up until now?
