Yesterday was my birthday, my forty-ninth! Where did all those years go? It seems like it was only yesterday when I was thinking about what I would do when I grow up. Now I am close to the half-century mark.
One of the perks of growing old is that your treasure chest of wisdom grows even without going to school or an updating course. Life itself is our school. But it is up to us to be enriched by the lessons that we learn.
And one of the greatest lessons I've learned is that I can never be in control of anything. Despite my best laid plans, there is always a place for a "variable" or two that can change the equation.
But I have also learned that there is always one "constant", the presence of a loving God.
If we allow that "constant" in, our equation is always full of hope.
