Some years ago I met a ministerial colleague from Hawaii, the late Rev. Helen Street. Helen was a powerful presence and a thought-provoking, entertaining speaker. She said she always referred to God as “Big Sweetie.” That comment led me into a whole new way of thinking about the Divine.
If the Infinite Mystery is a generous sweetheart who dotes on and treasures us, why not welcome everything that comes in life as gifts from Big Sweetie? Even things that are difficult or unpleasant offer us opportunities to grow. That growth—or our willingness to grow—can open us to our heart’s desires.
During July we’ve considered our relationships with ourselves, others, our community, the universe, and today, with God, by whatever name you call It.
