I received a message from a young man I had employed as a cook back in the mid '90's yesterday. It was an apology of sorts...as in his opinion he had been a less than satisfactory worker. To the contrary, I remember him as a talented, hardworking and very bright guy. The gist of his message was that as a result of several failed attempts to 'find himself' in Montreal, he returned to his native Calgary...and over the course of the next several years, he found his passion and now is living a life he ever only dreamed of. The subject of his message was; 'Everything happens for a reason...you say' and as he ended his message his final comment was that working for me was a necessary element in ultimately leading him back to Calgary and to his dream life.
God's ways are above our ways and His thoughts above our thoughts. It is for this reason that often/usually we don't understand why things happen to us or to those we love. God has a great plan for each and every one of our lives...and in order to effect this plan He must take us from where we are...to where He wants us. Often this means tremendous suffering. The great news is that our spirits have a tremendous capacity to overcome adversities...and in the process this takes us closer to God and closer to heaven(on earth).
