Bits and Pieces

As I prepared to write my monthly newsletter article, I remembered a little notebook I have. I use it to write down things that I’ve heard/read “here and there.” Sooner or later, those “bits and pieces” start to make sense!

Don’t ask me “where or when” I “read or heard”, that I do not know. But, making sense out of “bits and pieces” all came together for me during the summer of 2017.

As I took a vacation with my grandkids, I decided to make memories – bits and pieces – not only for them but also for their entire generation getting ready to impact the world with good or bad choices.

I asked myself what could I say to them. To tell them, “God has a plan for their lives.” Is a good statement but, telling them, “God has a plan for your lives and you have a certain number of years to accomplish it – don’t miss it!” says so much more.

I will tell them to pray for God to reveal His plan but to do so with a proper posture – that of showing submission and respect whether on your knees or on the run. There is an attitude of prayer that brings answers, freedom, rest and grace to our souls.

I pray my “bits and pieces” will continue to make eternal sense for them and others.
