A couple of years ago, my father contacted me (through my mother) and wanted to visit me. I hadn't heard from him in six years. My last conversation with him was a bad one but I have forgiven him. I was at peace and living my own life the way I wanted to live it. I honored his request and he came hundreds of miles to see me and stay in my home. It was weird.

So I played host to my estranged father. We talked a lot. It was an open, honest conversation. It was a positive visit. He knows I am not longer angry but he also knows I want peace in my life. He's not there, yet.

"Know thyself"

"Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you". So we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
-- Hebrews 13:5,6

"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path"
--Morpheus in "The Matrix"
