Control Freak??

I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following. ~ Mohandas Gandhi

Ok, so I have been faithful in trying to post daily since starting this blog. You can imagine my dismay last night when I tried to log in and discovered that I was locked out as blogger worked on some issues. But, but, but!! I could not even argue with anyone. ARG!!! How frustrating was that? So I could not post yesterday.

I had an interesting day and was excited to sit down and tell you about it. I was in Portage La Prairie where tensions are high because of potential flooding due to the planned or unplanned breach of the dikes in the area. I sat and listened as the teacher explained to the children what would happen and what it might look like. The students responded by telling stories of which relatives or friends live in the area. Some of the staff and students were making lunches for sandbaggers and those who were being evacuated. Guess all that had to wait until today.

We cannot foresee the future and we must concentrate on the present moment. We need to let go of our own needs and desires. Hand it all over to God. Trust that all is well, even if you miss your blog posting because of technology. It seems so small in the light of hundreds of families losing their homes tomorrow when the dike is breached. Pray for them.

Peace,

Suzanne
