WHY?

Just minutes after my last posting, literally minutes, I took a tumble at the driveway and broke my ankle! :( Today I re-read that posting and am filled again with that sense of happiness I had that day! It lifts my spirits on this day of confinment...day of looking outside at everyone going about their business and me sitting here with my ankle in a huge castboot and hurting! I ask 'Why?" What could be the purpose of this "grounding"? Well, I've learned that God is big enough for me to ask the question, but not always willing to give the answer at the time. Sometimes it's not until later I realize - "Oh, that's why it happened that way!" Sometimes I never find an answer. I have been contented to know that when I reach Heaven and stand before God, He will answer all my questions. But then one day I came to realize - IT WON'T MATTER! When I see Him and Jesus who loves me perfectly - the past will not mater anymore. I doubt I'll even remember what I was so perplexed by here on earth. Just to be with all those who love me and to be free to worship forever...it will be Heaven. So for now, I'll put the question to rest. Plan to do some positive things. Re-connect with friends by phone and email. Love my family. Watch Olympics. Read some of the great books on my table. And talk with the One who loves me even longer every day! Maybe those things are some of the answers to the question....WHY?
