Sitting here listening to the quiet I am reminded of the awesomeness of the GOD we serve. Yesterday listening to my widows made me think of all the pieces he puts together in our life. The Bible says "you knew me before I was formed in my Mother's womb"(Ps 138:14). GOD knows what is going to happen in our lives. He put me together with these women who needed a little laughter in their lives. It is such a tremendous joy to listen to them talk about our trips. The memories, the laughter, the excitement of seeing places they never thought they would see. We take so much for granted. Our next trip in September will be to the San Luis Valley. Three of the widows have never seen them. Oh what fun.
Bina asked if we had ever been to Mesa Verde. Another fun trip that would be.
Life is short - for some shorter than others. I am often reminded that GOD has created each and everyone of us "For such a time as this."(Esther 4:14) Becoming a Widow has always carried a stigma of sadness but GOD has show us that even in our sorrow we can rejoice in the life he has set before us. For indeed we do not know why but we do know he has created us "For such a time as this."
Love like you've never loved. Dance when you don't know why your dancing. Sing with joy. Enjoy life. When someone asks you "How are you?" answer with enthusiasm instead of humdrum.
And make sure to take time to "Be still and know that HE IS GOD.
