Dear Son, my email response to an email prayer request

God our Creator
Our God is an awesome, loving God

Dear Son, my email response to an email prayer request…

Sickness, illness, tragedy… none of these make sense, since our God is a loving God. As we all struggle to find meaning, the thought just occurred (seriously) as I typed the first sentence…

maybe the blessing is so painstakingly obvious that we can no longer see it…

the blessing is that we have life… and every minute of every day is a gift… and maybe if we enjoyed more of those, then when the time comes when that opportunity narrows or goes away… we don’t feel sorrow or regret, but joy that our loved one is going to see the King of Kings.

and maybe our hardships are blessings in disguise…

Don’t have the answers, but do have the gift of thinking about them… we all do.

Dear Heavenly Father, we trust that Your will be done. Please help us in our human weakness and imperfection.

The most admired company in the world, also has more cash reserves than the United States Government. There IS genius in simplicity. Life has only five big choices, all working in concert.

Embracing this has slowly transformed my life. It will do the same for yours as well, if you’re smart. If you start. And never quit.

Sure, it would be great if there was no controversy over Boy Scouts and acceptance. It would be great if there was no controversy over anything. Like that is ever gonna happen. Go. Take a stand. Do your best. To do your duty. To God and your Country.

And learn how to make a fire to keep yourself alive, using only one match. There can be no mistakes. If the fire doesn’t start, you’ll never see daylight.

What happens when daylight does come, and the economy starts humming along again. It seems far too many of us aren’t spending our time now doing this?
