I have about a 45 minute to an hour commute to work each morning. I spend some of that time contemplating why the traffic stopped so suddenly or planning what I need to get done at work. Most of the time I am trying to determine the best way to continue to let go of things I have no control over. When my mind is not on those things I look at the personalized license plates and try to figure out what they mean.
I was multi tasking on the way to work on Monday. I was thinking about my son, his wife, his son and worrying about how they are going to manage through his treatment and their impending divorce. How I am going to deal with it if my daughter-in-law moves away with my grandson? What that will mean for my son and for me? I got frustrated with that and began looking at license plates. The first one I saw said "B LIEVE". It took me a minute to figure out what that was supposed to be. The next one I saw said "HE CAN". I just looked up at the cloudy sky and said, "Okay, God. I get it!". And once again turned it all over to him.
Just something I wanted to share with you. Look around and pay attention. You will find the comfort that you need.
Praying for yours and for mine!
This is the second faith building story I have heard in the past 12 hours. Proof to me that God is alive and well and has us and our kids in His hands. Thanks for sharing that.
