Making History Count

For a little fun, as well as an important look into the pages of your history, take a few minutes for a simple exercise. Take a pencil and paper and jot down the five most meaningful compliments you've ever received. They may have been verbal or nonverbal, direct or indirect. On your paper note:

  1. The nature of the compliment.
  2. When it was given.
  3. Who gave you the compliment and what role that person represented to you.

After completing this exercise, try another: Write down the five most important events in your life. Then write briefly why these "historic" moments are so important to you.

These two exercises represent a simple means by which you can come to grips with who you are. To finish the exercise, ask yourself this question: If Rembrandt could paint only one portrait of you, what would he have you doing in the portrait? What is your fruitful moment? Maybe tomorrow will bring a moment that will redirect your personal history.

Our history is not the result of blind fate or the impersonal forces of chance. My personal history and yours are bound up with the Author and Lord of history, who makes my personal history count forever.

Coram deo: Living before the face of God

Do the two exercises suggested in today's reading, then answer the question: "If Rembrandt could paint only one portrait of you, what would he have you doing in the portrait?"
