Cancelled



Never have I seen so many unhappy faces. Not a smile was spotted anywhere in the waiting area. Tension levels were high. Frustration abounded. Toes were tapping. Phone calls were being made. The flight to Dallas had been cancelled.

Businessmen had to change their meetings, families had to rearrange their vacations and others were trying to manipulate their routes in order to get to their ultimate destination. It was the ripple effect. The weather in one city had caused the flight to a major hub to be unable to takeoff thus the dominoes began falling. The people on that flight had to be placed on other flights and other airlines, leaving many angry and upset.

I'm so glad that God doesn't cancel on us. We can count on Him to always be there for us. We don't have to wait on Him or wonder if He is going to let us down. Even though His time frame is often not exactly the same as ours and it seems that He is late, we are in reality just early for His perfect plans.

When we might think things have been cancelled due to situations and circumstances beyond our control, our Sovereign God is in perfect control of each and every moment. And the best part of it all is that God never cancels our “ultimate” flight.  Once we have committed to our relationship to Jesus and have secured our seat on the heaven bound airplane, He will never cancel our destination. We may make mistakes along the way, but God forgives us and we are still assured that He loves us and wants to spend all eternity with us. Nothing can separate us from Him...nothing!

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38

Roxy--Our Adopted Best Friend

Image
Roxy was our beloved pet for 14 years. We got her for my daughter Lynn’s sixteenth birthday. Lynn had been begging for a dog and in a weak moment we agreed to her request. We decided that a pound puppy would be a good choice, so off to PetsMart we went, since they brought in a selection of puppies for adoption each weekend. Upon surveying the motley crew of dogs and cats, Lynn and I spotted a couple of cute white dogs with black and brown spots—a brother and sister pair, but we weren’t quite sure if one of them might be “the right one.” So back to the car for the next stop, and off to the humane society we went. Anytime you go to a place like that you hurt for the sad little animals just peering through the cages, longing to be grabbed up into your arms to be loved and cared for and you wish that you could take them all home. After checking out the big dogs, the small dogs, the old and the young, the hairy and even scary dogs, it was determined that none of those was meant to go home...
