Another Thanksgiving coming around.Not as many faces around the table now.It is fitting that at least once a year but preferably daily we stop and give thanks.In our corner of the world we are blessed beyond measure.Somerimes we wonder why things happen as they do.I think most of the time it is much easier to avoid "pondering "on things.Even after all these years I still ask God why my Dad couldn't live.I sure hope he can see all our kids and grandkids.There once was a time when I was angry with God.Then one day I realized that it was all a gift.Whether you have one day with someone or a thousand years - it is all a gift directly from the One who made it so.
We make our plans and then God intervenes.After all these years I should not be so amazed at how God works.I painted every room in my office - it took me months -I'm a very slow painter.I with the help of my wonderful son -n-law put a beautiful new floor down.I bought more equipment. I hung pictures and all of my diplomas.On the very day I was to open I was prompted to stop by a colleagues office to ask if I could send patients over for xray. He suggested I work with him and in an instant all my plans changed.They changed to a plan only God could have conceived.
We wonder sometimes if we are making the right decisions. I am reminded of a verse from the book of Samuel. Whether you turn to the right or the left you will hear a voice behind you saying this is the way walk in it.No matter what our choices if God is in it we will a,ways be fine.

Change
Richard will marry in a few hours and in a few days Jolene will turn 60.Time has a way of flying by.One generation giving way to the next.It is natural to question how will they make it? Are they ready for this? Of course they will be just fine.
We could ask the same questions of ourselves especially as we enter into our 7th decade.A few more years of work and perhaps some unknown physical and mental Challenge awaits us.
You see in life nothing is guaranteed .If you walk by faith then Gods guiding hand will be your site.
