Let it go. Yes I agree that when we hand over to a Higher power a solution may occur...maybe not the answer we thought was an answer.
Think hanging on with fingertips to the edge of a building..we will fall but may fall softly or be caught..perhaps have injury ...but letting go is the start of a solution

Jabber,...maybe he can't fix everything. If he could, do you think we would have so much misery in this world? Just a thought.

We just got home from a week away on the other side of the country. We arrived at our home airport around 8am, and were supposed to be picked up by our neighbour. To make a long story short, he was waiting for us on the departures level, and we were waiting for him on the arrivals level. After about 40 minutes, hubby went to look for him. Meanwhile, his wife showed up looking for us...then went back into the airport to look for hubby, at the same time that hubby returned to me to report that he hadn't seen anyone. Well, it would have been hilarious if we hadn't been travelling for the past 14 hours and were exhausted. But for the next 20 minutes, I stood still in one spot with the luggage while everyone else kept missing each other while looking for each other. During that time I kept praying that the Lord would somehow bring us altogether in the same spot at the same time.
At one point, hubby came back just in time to help a very elderly woman lift her heavy suitcase into her friend's car. Both looked like they were ready to collapse any minute, and I wondered later if hubby might have saved the oldest one from a heart attack (it was hot and muggy even that early in the morning). Then I wondered if maybe that was why we hadn't all found each other yet, that it had been no accident that we were there right at the moment when those ladies needed help.
I was even more convinced that that was the case when about two minutes after he helped the elderly ladies, all of OUR people converged at the same spot and we merrily went on our way home.
I think it's neat when God can use us to fix other people's problems at the same time that He's using other people to fix OUR problems.

I loved reading Dotsie's and Eagle Heart's stories, and Anne's encouragement. Thanks, Friends!
