Whatever religion that is You can call me that!

I am a Christian

But at the end of the day

(Literally, writing this at 11 PM)

I just want to be the religion

That wants to love God

That wants to be infinitely grateful

For this opportunity to LIVE

and to EXPERIENCE

I just want to be

A religion that inspires

A moral compass

To say I did my best

And that I’m a good (enough) person

I just want to say thank you God

For this precious gift of life

For my children and their humor (and everything else!!!)

For my family and the gift of their love

For laughing too loud with friends

For being inappropriate

but in a funny way

Like laughing when someone gets hurt but not HURT

Which I’m actively trying to change

Because

Like I said

It’s inappropriate.

I want to be a religion where I can thank God

For the enjoyment of food

The warmth of the sun on my skin

And the feeling I get when I sing

And look at my sleeping children

Stroking their hair

And knowing my husband is healthy

And my mom’s around the corner

I don’t take it for granted

Whatever religion that is

You can call me that!
