Greetings. I hope your weekend went well.
I am sure that each of us have had those, “WHAT IF” moments. What if I did this or if I did that. I know I have.
“What if is would have stayed in New Jersey?” What if I had not worked in hospice, and instead worked in a parish or taught in a school??? There are always those “WHAT IF” moments.
When I have those moments in my life, I reflect back on what I have done. I think of the number of people that I have ministered to as a chaplain in hospice, The number if people I counseled over the death of a love one, or the 21 years of holding a hand as the person transitioned from this life to the next.
The American Christian pastor A. W. Tozer tells us today, “It’s not what you did, but what you could have done if you allowed the Lord to work His will in your life.”
I have often told others that God draws straight with corked lines. The Lord puts us where He wants and NEEDS us to be and when we need to be there. We just need to allow ourselves to allow God to work His miracles in our lives.
Peace and All Good,
Fr. Vinnie, fcm and the
Bros and Srs of the
Franciscan House of Prayer.
