I really like this, especially these lines:
The purpose of life is not to maintain personal comfort; it’s to grow the soul…”The work” does not need to be grand, only fitting. It is guided by asking ourselves over and over: What is the next right thing?
With love,

About russtowne
My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 4 young grandsons. I manage a wealth management firm I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of 23 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children. In addition to my family, friends, investing, and writing, my passions include reading, watching classic movies, experiencing waves crashing on rocky shores, hiking in ancient redwood forests, and enjoying our small redwood grove and fern garden.
Hey Russ, I don’t ask myself over and over, “What’s the next right thing?” But I do ask that question. Before I leave my sanctuary each morning and head down the circular staircase to the “real world,” I ask God, “As I walk in Your Way today, help me meet who You want me to meet, and tell me what You want me to say; help me be who You made me to be, and show me what You want me to do. In Jesus’ name. Amen”. That’s the long-winded way to ask God, “What’s next?” God probably likes your version best! 🤪
I believe God would be plenty pleased with both versions, my friend.
I just take things as they happen and roll with the flow
Going with the flow certainly has its rewards.
