That really is the how and why
of it. It seems Life just keeps putting in little pop quizzes and how
I answer them is where I am at on its bar graph. The odd thing about
it all is that I may not know about the quiz at the time of it, nor
will I know if I answered correctly till some time down the road.
It is like setting up a long
line of dominoes, and I never know if they are going to fall true
until I put them in motion. As the chain falls, it suddenly stops,
one domino is out of place, so I have to take the time to put it in
place and then let the chain begin again.
That is how my Life is. The out
of place domino is a quiz question I answered incorrectly, or a
passage I should have turned right on but turned left instead. So I
have to go back and redo it, hopefully learning from it, so that the
rest of the dominoes will fall in order or in other words, my life
will run smoothly.
As with Life, I seem to learn
more from my mistakes than from the things I do correctly the first
time. I am grateful to my God for allowing me this perception. I
seem to have made many mistakes in my past and I am bound to make
more in the future, but in knowing that I am not doing it on purpose,
or with intent, allows me to continue to live an open life, one
lacking in the fear to take a risk and see. Having this faith in my
God gives me the opportunity to expand my life and thinking. To grow
in life as I think is His desire for all His children.
As a father, I want my children
to experience Life. I know sometimes there will be scraped knees and
hurt feelings. That being the price of living, growing and loving.
Hopefully I am there to sooth the pain and help them make sense of
it, just as He does with me.
Funny how being a father
crossed one of those milestones without my knowledge of it. That
line that Life must have thought my capable of living, and the God of
my understanding knew I was ready accept.
As always thoughts and comments are welcomed..
