Just a few short weeks ago, I was lamenting a bit on being an empty-nester. As of yesterday, everything seems as though it's going to change yet again. My son called to say that he wanted to move back home; that the destination he chose (not a place I would've chosen in this life-time) didn't seem to be panning out for him. Although he has a place to stay and food to eat, he has no car; the job he was told he would have waiting for him didn't materialize, and he has not had any luck in getting many more interviews.
Apparently, "Houston, we have a problem..." and this will be an aborted launch. In looking back at my own life, I have to say that I made several aborted launches: in moves, jobs, marriages even, career choices, and the list goes on. Even in my choice of spiritual paths, when I think of it!
What I do know is true: God has a plan -- for me, for my son, and for the World! And there is no aborted launch plan, and there is no problem at all, but just a great, Divine plan and purpose, with Christ on the throne!
I'm thanking God for His Grace, His Presence and His Purpose for me personally, for my family and friends, for my community, for the USA and the World at large. After all, it all belongs to Him -- each and every one, and every thing!
Ecc. 3: 1-11 comes to mind. Read it. Ponder it. What are your thoughts?
To Him be the Glory, forever and ever!
