When we plan our lives, we typically do not give much thought as to who we may meet along the way.

However , God is always at work.   ALWAYS!   Even though we may not consider it an ‘act of God’ at the time,  it will reveal itself for its purpose later.    For God does not give all the answers at once.   Rather, ‘trust’ is expected and essential.

Most recently when I was traveling, I found it nescessary to say my prayers on the airplane.    I usually keep to myself unless someone asks a question, or if something promps me to speak.

In one instance a lady, asked me if I had read a book called, ‘HEAVEN IS FOR REAL’.   Author: Todd Burpo.    I said, No, I haven’t heard of it.   She then told me about the book and was excited to share it with me.

I thought about it!   I thought, well I believe in heaven so why would I ‘need’ to read the book?!    At any rate, It would seem to always ‘accidently’ walk by this book in  the store.  It did not matter what store, it seemed as though the book kept getting my attention.   Finally, I was without my favorite authors’ at home to read, so I thought, “Why not”!

Upon reading the book I realized it had ‘power’ that was unusual.   In other words, it draws you in.   Though it is not the ‘action filled’ or the mystery that one searches for, it had emotion!   It is in laymans terms and touches the heart in ways one does not expect!   Simply, a loving story, anyone can empathize with.   Because it is a real life experience that occurs, we can not help but feel the anguish of the family.

The book is highly recommened to everyone, no matter who or what your walk of life.    Though it is a very simple book, it is lovely, because it promps ones thinking to what wonders wait for those who love the LORD!

Book of ECCLESIASTES: Chapter 3 verses 1-8

1)” There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.

2) A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.

3) A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time tear down, and a time to build.

4) A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

5) A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

6) A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.

7) A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak.

8) A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time of peace.”
