It is not that everything in my life is good. It is just that I cannot be healthy musing over the bad.
So I pretend:
I pretend that my words are valuable and gain a listen.
I pretend that the smile I flash to a stranger cracks through the stony countenance I view.
I pretend that my children and friends welcome my thoughts and weekly emails.
I pretend that my mission is God-induced and not merely self-motivated.
I pretend that the church down the road wants me to come and inspire.
I pretend that my legs can carry me on, to complete my task.
I pretend that I am not alone.
I pretend that the Golden Rule still has the same rate of exchange.
I pretend that my creative offerings bless instead of bore.
I pretend that my plain features and overweight body do nothing to deter my outreach.
I pretend that God’s will can be done on earth as it is in heaven.
I pretend that a heaven awaits that I have never seen.
I pretend that good wins over evil.
I pretend that my whispers might one day be shouted from the housetops.
I pretend I matter.
I pretend you matter.
I pretend that anything matters.
I pretend because that’s what faith is.
It is pretending we see things that should be done before they can be.
I pretend…that I’m not pretending.
