Thoughts from the Canyon


My first sight of the Grand Canyon was the first picture above. The Canyon was filled with clouds! Our guide said "Wait." While I stood on the Rim of the Grand Canyon, I saw the clouds part and blow away. The most awesome sight greeted my eyes (see second picture). It was like God said "TA-DA!" and swept the curtain aside!
Have you ever gone to a play or concert? When you arrive, all you see is the big curtain. But there is a lot going on behind the scenes! Finally the lights go down and that curtain goes up. Ta-Da -- the Show is on!
Right now, I'm waiting for the "Ta-Da" that signals the next big step in my life. Life seems to be "on hold" while Doug looks for a job and we continue to get the house ready for sale. Roman 8:28 tells us that ALL things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. All things means ALL things -- job loss, delays -- all things.
I hear the orchestra tuning up. Soon the lights will go down, the curtain will go up and "TA-DA!" the waiting will be over. And it will be worth every minute of the wait.
