I heard a young lady being interviewed on the radio about her achievement of memorising pi to 900 decimal places. She correctly recited the string of numbers in 8 minutes to win the annual challenge run by her school. A remarkable achievement for sure and a most impressive display of memory.
Achievements and their value are quite subjective. There are so many things I would strive to achieve before even thinking I might like to memorise 900 numbers. (In fact, I know I would not be able to commit to memory anything like that number of numbers.) Something that I know I can achieve, that to me is valuable and worthwhile, is a meaningful relationship with God. For my part, I need to seek forgiveness and the rest will just flow.
God, you are the meaning of life and a relationship with you brings completeness. Thank you for this gift.
