I have a little story to tell, that was given to me as a gift of grace, by a benevolent Abba, the One who wishes joy on His children. It’s an idealogical reference to the meaning of security, and the comfort of family.
One busy workday, which just so happened to be my birthday, I walked out towards my car after the long day was over. There were three young men waiting for me outside, who told me to get in their car, instead, because they were taking me somewhere, and I had no choice in the matter. I was being “kid”napped (literally!) I was happy to do so, because, you see, these three wonderful and handsome youngsters were my sons, coming to take me on a birthday adventure (in their dad’s car, which they took over for the occasion, since the dad was far, far away, at the time!) It was an unplanned and happy diversion and satisfying to this mother of men. This is a very joyful memory, a bright and shining point of time, which I have stored away in my heart.
The Lord brought this beautifully arranged gift from Him (because who else could give so great and perfect a gift?) back into my mind, recently, as an answer to a prayer. I had been pondering our upcoming change of location, which will be unplanned by us, but has had it’s appointed time since the beginning. I was wondering what it would be like, since my nature is of the kind that is afraid of change and wants to be able to control circumstances. He brought back this precious memory as an answer to my question. Our Father doesn’t give us the ticket until it’s time to leave, and now HE has given me enough understanding to look forward, with great love, to the next great adventure!
