It's been a while since I've posted. My life is still on its downward spiral; I'm still out of work, still wrestling with depression due to fatigue from sleep apnea. I let my troubles clobber me, and thereby make my reality even worse. It's occurred to me though that maybe my depression is spawned of excessive worry. And maybe what I need for that is trust in God's forgiveness and providence. I need the peace that passes all understanding, that comes from knowing I have real peace with God; His forgiveness, His love and His acceptance.
I missed church last Sunday because of some car trouble (all I need). I wish I would have taken the Sacrament; Christ promised that in it we are eating and drinking His flesh and His blood. It's an absolute promise of forgiveness and salvation, and I have not appreciated it as I should. The sacraments are gifts, God's overflowing forgiveness and grace. I hope I can make it next Sunday. Christ promised that "whosoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven." Of all people I need forgiveness and the assurance of forgiveness.
