Each
experience we have plays its part in the total
picture of our lives. The steps we have taken,
the path we travel today, and our direction
tomorrow are not by chance. There is a
pattern.
We each have a
destiny. We may have veered off the path in
the past, and we may veer off it again. But
we'll be guided back, and our paths intersect.
None of
us is traveling alone. We have each other and
the creative force that is at the helm.
When we look
around us and reflect on how our lives are
influenced by the persons close to us, we
become aware that our presence affects their
lives as well.
Most of us
could never have predicted the events that
have influenced us. Nor can we anticipate what
the future may hold.
We can
be certain, however, that we are safe; a power
greater than ourselves is orchestrating our
affairs.
There were
times we feared we'd never survive an
experience. Perhaps we still struggle with
fears about new experiences.
But every
experience adds a necessary thread to the
pattern our life is weaving.
We have the
gift of reflection. We can understand, today,
the importance of particular events of the
past.
Next month,
next year, we'll understand today.
