MYSTERY TOUR

How many of you have been on a mystery tour,where you don't know where you are going or how you will finally reach your destination.Well i find life like that,you can start your day with a certain plan and somewhere between daybreak and sunset it can change.There have been days that i have been going to a particula thing and within just hours i have been asked to go somewhere or there has been another pressing issue come up. An other thing that happens to is you will be expecting someone to come and they don't or visa versa.I find life is so unpredictable it can be frightening sometimes,Like the best friends you had sudenly are not together anymore,or for no reason at all you have a fall out with some you trusted your life ,with each of these experiences we learn something whether good or bad it is lifes lessons.

There have been many times over my life when i wish i had not been so trusting ,or i had been a bit harder in the diccission i made and stuck to it much harder than i did.When your very little your parents make the choices for you whether right or wrong and you just have to follow along, not always going peacably sometimes kicking and screaming but you have no choice so you have to fall in line.

When you are a teenager you think you know it all,and only listen to what you want to, but you soon find out that the advice the folks gave was right and you should have listened,Sometimes you can retrace your steps and  fix things up,other times it is to late the damage is done and you just have except the consquences but thats part of lifes journey.

Adult hood seems to bring an air of so called maturity you are seen to be an adult surposed to be mature,can do what you want answerable to no-one or are we? maturity does not come just because you have become of age ,it comes when you prove you can be responsible,there are a lot of adults but not all accountable.for their actions.

Family is another adventure all together,first comes finding someone who you can trust with your life your all,The children that come are new challenges,each one is different and needs to be dealt with differently,They all have likes and dislikes and there is no pleasing everyone as you soon learn, but you wouldn't swap them for anything haha.

Then comes the empty nest syndrome where the kids have gone and you find your self looking for something to fill in the empty spaces that once a heard of noisy kids filled,Something to fill the aching arms that once held little people that needed you for everything,all of a sudden you feel lost and empty,how you long for them to be little again

Whats this !not another   change yes another one  as your child declares they are getting married,again you feel the pangs of the empty nest but you do all you can to help them have the best wedding and lfe together,your heart may be aching as you watch your child give their life to someone else but it is up to you whether you gain a new family member or loose your child because of your disapproval .this is your choice intirely

Now comes the time for you to become grandparents,this can be the most emotional time ever,especially if the mum to be is your daughter.You want to help with advise some times they listen, others  times they know best and you have to realize they have to learn just like you did.As the little ones grow you become more attached to them every day and your heart is so full of love for them you think it will burst.,and there is nothing more beautiful than  when your little grandchild starts to call you nanny or poppy.

The years  go by and  the granchildren  have grown into fine young people and you are reaching the end of your life and the cycle of life  starts again,you sit and ponder on where you have been ,what you have done,and how you finally got to where you are.With some regret ,sadness and ,joy you realize just how good God has been in your life's mystery tour and how you may never have made it this far without His help Thankyou Jesus
