Faith

On the stepping stone and thinking.....

Many years ago I was babysitting a five year old little girl and her ten month old brother. I had promised that I would play any game she wanted as soon as I had gotten her brother to bed. She chose Candyland. I believe we had played about eight games in which she had won every one! When I asked her about this, she looked at me with her beautiful big brown eyes in all honesty and said "I asked God for all the right cards". She then told me that I should give it a try, and so I did. Wouldn't you know, I won the next game? I also lost the last three. Time for bed! I have always remembered that evening. What a lesson. The faith of that little girl.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase".

How complicated, untrusting and closed minded we have become. Seemingly always having to concern ourselves with what "angle" someone is coming from. I really don't like thinking like that, but what other choice is there? After hurting my back, I went to two different doctors for their opinions. When I got to one of the offices there was the usual stack of paperwork to fill out before being seen. Three different places on these forms for this one doctor I was asked who my attorney was. How sad.

I feel more comfortable putting my faith in the unknown of the spiritual world rather than the human world. It maybe unknown, but I know what I'm getting.
