Sometimes the roller coaster of life plunges downhill at
breakneck speed, and all one can do is hang on. It can be exhilarating, or not.
The one thing that really suffers during hectic and
disrupted schedules, I notice, is good times with God. I admire those whose
daily routines always include time with God. I am not good at maintaining
routine no matter what, so this has been a week thin on devotional moments.
But God’s grace isn’t there just for those who maintain
their quiet times no matter what. His grace is there for me, too, and I have
seen his loving trademark stamped all over these last days. Laughter and
smiles. Friendships renewed and deepened. Scorching sun beaming out of blue
skies. The breathtaking beauty of a ripening summer’s day. The unbridled joy of
a two-year-old as she chases butterflies and admires cows and sheep.
The roller coaster car is rolling along at a more sedate
pace now, and I expect to make my date with my Maker tomorrow morning.
Meantime, I can lie down and sleep assured of his love and care, no matter my
shortcomings.
Whew.
