It might do us good to be reminded, “We ain’t got it all figured or planned out; we may think we have, but...”
It helps now and then to step back and take a long view of things:
*Nothing we do is complete
*No statement says all that could be said on a subject
*No prayers fully express our faith
*Not all questions will be fully answered
*No confession brings perfection
*No goals will all be completed
*Lassie will not always come home
*Lassie may come home, but he may have gotten lost on his way
*Not all things will we understand why…and may never
This is what we are about:
*We plant seeds and some will grow
*We water some seeds previously planted
*Some seeds hold great promise
*Some seeds are great disappointments
*Some wells we draw water from will be dry
*We lay foundations that will need further developments
*We cannot do everything
*We will have a sense of relief when we come to realize that we may never see the end of what we love
*We are not master builders, ministers, or messiahs
*We will get tired
We all have our limitations; learning that sooner in life is better, but generally it takes some time.
