God’s Plan
Recently I sat on the back porch of my granddaughter’s house that sits in our back yard. Tall cedar trees line the lake and the sun lights them up like Christmas trees. In fact, they were intended to be Christmas trees, if it were not for a failed business plan some thirty years ago.
Many years ago, my husband looked at the land behind our house and thought “Christmas tree business”, but it was not to be. For a number of reasons, the Christmas tree business never took off, so on Saturdays, for years, 2 papa spent countless hours trimming those trees to make our backyard a beautiful scene for all to enjoy.
What he didn’t envision was me sitting on our granddaughter’s porch, holding a great-grandchild and listening to worship music. Nope. That was nowhere in his plan, but, praise the Lord, it was God’s plan. God who knew that a failed business would create the perfect space for our great-grandchildren to grow up. If you’re staring down something that looks like failure, just wait, God might have a better plan.
Hugs, Chrys
