We live quite far from the city. So every time, we decide to go shopping or visiting, it’s normal for us to use the words – going into the city. Friends tease us with questions like ‘Did you have to use your passport?’
Yesterday, two of our very dear friends were celebrating their birthdays and it seemed like too ambitious a plan to attempt to meet both of them as well as keep our appointed date with my husband’s grandmother who was visiting and eager to see me.
Seemed like a lot to do in a span of just three hours since we had decided that I would not leave early from work. (Don’t want too many ‘permissions’ lined up against my name!)
We just prayed and knew that if it was God’s will, it would work out smoothly. And would you believe, we managed to make it through peak evening traffic, the distance and meet all the three people and spend just enough time with them.
Of course, it was a blessing to see priceless expressions of joy on the faces of the birthday babies and paatimaa as I call our grandmother.
It was during our evening walk that we realized the true essence of surrendering time to God. He’s an expert in orchestration and organization. Wonder why I bother worrying or hurrying?
