Relevance


 
Life is full of turns, twists, emotions of joy, saddness, hurt, dissapointment, fear, doubt, love, kindness, compassion and hate, maybe you can think of more.  

My days used to be pretty much the same.  Same house, same job, same friends and family surrounding me, came city, same county, same roads.... get the picture...

My days now... have me  in total unawareness each day.  Unaware of how to get to the grocery without mapquest, where the closest gas station is, who my neighbors are, what bank to use, will I have a girlfriend here, where the heck my lampshades are and those coffee mugs that go with my dishes? 

While I am so unaware .... I am also so very aware of, God's Gracious Heart, His Provision, His Joy and His Presense.  Therefore, the fact that I am so unaware...is irrelevant.  Relevance is in Him.

I hang onto that when I am down, when I miss my friends and family, when life is turning in directions I am not used to and totally unaware of.  I hang onto this relevance when I am feeling alone. I have to. It really does give me Joy and Peace. 

A very good girlfriend who is quite a jet setter, flew in to give me help and it felt just like home.  It isn't the city or county or structure that makes home. It is the heart and the people.

Enjoy your day, I hope it has relevance, purpose and joy.
