As a little girl growing up in Georgia way back in the mid fifties I had no idea where my life would take me. Many times as a child I tried very hard to image exactly how my life would turn out. It's like that old song that I remember, "whatever will be, will be, the futures' not ours' to see." Since those days of playing house with my sister, growing somewhat poor and not knowing that I had much more in my life than so many other children did in those days, things have changed. The song remains the same, what will be, will be.
My road from the mid fifties till now has been so very winding, full of sorrow, many of hundreds of mistakes and plenty of happiness. I see my life now half full and realize what an amazing time I have had on this earth. To say that I am blessed is an understatement to that fact. For me nothing is worth having if I had not traveled the road that I am still on, taking a leap of faith and knowing that somehow all would be well.
There is always a certain hesitation about the unknown, but the thrill of the ride is just too inviting not go along. If not for the ride how would I have become the person that I am today and the thought of what will be, will be, would never have any meaning to my life at all.
For all that I could dream of as a child I could never have dreamt of the life that I have lived. The blessing that have been bestowed upon me and the clear understanding that life without struggle, sorrow and joy is a life not lived.
For all that I have seen and done, experienced, failed at and risen above to reclaim my life with God's almighty love, my savior's gift of salvation has become the greatest of all gifts that I have received.
Now image that, times eternity.
Image That!
