Opportunity/Adventure

 Another "new year" post reminded me of something I wrote:

Do you feel empty, void, useless?

Do you feel you've lost your purpose?

A job ended unexpectedly.

Maybe illness came suddenly.

Perhaps the loss of your beloved spouse

leading to foreclosure on your house.

Life the way you know it has changed.

Your time is now rearranged.

Sometimes this rearranging

is God's way of arranging -

opening the door for a new opportunity,

turning a dream into a possibility.

Instead of dwelling on the past

get busy and have a blast.

Turn your negatives

into positives.

An adventure awaits.

You won't want to be late.

From the day of your birth

God assigned a purpose on earth

for you

to do

that will assist in God’s plan

designed from creation.

All the ups and down of life

shape your character in spite

of your good attempts

as life contains bumps.

Those bumps may lead you to your optimum occupation.

You may learn empathy is part of your disposition.

So many avenues to discover

as you mature and recover.

Throughout life there will be many opportunities posed.

Some you may have never imagined or supposed.

Consider, life is an adventure

just waiting to be discovered.

Many, O Lord my God,

are the wonders you have done.

The things you planned for us no one can recount to you,

were I to speak and tell of them,

they would be too many to declare.

Psalm 40:5

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!

How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them,

they would outnumber the grains of sand.

Psalm 139:17-18

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,

that we should be called children of God!

And that is what we are!

I John 3:1
