Lately, we have been so busy with life. Sam has weekly cross country meets, Jake has football practice 3 nights a week and games on Saturday mornings and I have to work on weekends, so I feel like we are just keeping our heads above water.
I forget how life can become more than just the mundane without even realizing it. There are "high" highs and "low" lows that can cross our paths. One friend is welcoming her new and unexpected baby this week. She is beautiful and will undoubtedly be lavished with love, no expense spared. Another family has been hit with the equivalent of a Mac truck finding out that the husband and father of their family has been diagnosed with cancer. Another completely unexpected diagnosis. I am so ensconced in the day-to-day life that I am unaware of the tapestry we are a part of weaving, the Big Picture.
It is so easy to accept the blessings and highs of life and so much harder to see how the Creator of life can decide it is time to bring a speed bump into our lives. Amazingly, both seem to be considering each experience as a blessing. I hope I would be able to feel the same way, but I am not sure my faith would withstand the same situation. I pray for both families as life as they have known it is changing in ways unimaginable. I pray for peace and wisdom as this new life, becomes the new normal.
Our God is too good to be unkind and too wise to make mistakes.
