Embrace "It". Okay I Will, But I Don't Want to. I Hate Roller Coasters.

So I suppose, that possibly, I was in a "mood" the last time I wrote to whoever is, or is not, out there reading.  I may have sounded just a tad cynical.  I am sometimes sad. Sometimes discouraged. Sometimes I want to quit.   Quit what, I'm not sure.  But generally, I am not cynical.

Quitters are usually looked upon in a negative light.  Perhaps, quitting is good, depending on what the quitter wants to quit.  When one is on a roller coaster it is impossible to make it go in the opposite direction unless you are the ride operator. So, when we get on we throw our hands in the air and yield to the will of the "Operator."  We are frightened at first, or maybe the entire ride, but when we get off, we are glad we did it.  We are glad we ultimately got on, no matter how scary the ride.  When we disembark there is a sense of accomplishment.  We did it.  We let go of control and yielded to the will of the ride.

I read something this morning, from a letter, some one special wrote to me many years ago.  "Your life will be one of joy and success as a result of your devoting yourself to the things that are more lasting and important than those of mortality."

So, I guess, I'm saying that life is a roller coaster and God is the operator?  Where the heck did that come from?

It is difficult, but I will try to quit making the roller coaster go backward.  Birth, school, marriage, children, aging, gaining weight, losing weight, illness, heartache, loss, indescribable joy, love, sadness, happiness.  All are part of this "Roller Coaster" of an earth life we live, and if we will yield to the will of our Heavenly Father who loves us unconditionally, and individually, it will be easier to embrace "It", no matter where "it" is we are in our lives.

Until next time...
