I Wonder?

Some things just don’t make sense.  Here are some of my thoughts:

• It rains on your day off.   The days you work—well, the weather is beautiful.  How does that happen?
• When you are young, you have no money.  Yet the aged, who seem to have plenty of money, get all the discounts;
• As a youth, you think you will sleep late when you retire.  Then when you finally do retire, you’re up at the crack of dawn;
• The slow car in front of me seems to be following me.  Why does he have to turn right when I want to go right and left when I want to turn left?  He’s following me but I’m behind him….how does that happen?
• People pay good money to put their life at risk, just for the thrill of it;
• You go on vacation to rest and when you return, you’re more tired that when you left;
• We go outside to get some sun, then we smear sun tan lotion on to keep the sun off;
• Here’s another outside wonderment.  You go out to get a little fresh air and it smells like a hog lot;
• People buy an expensive recreational vehicle to go camping and get away from the crowded city.  Look at any campground and ask yourself, “Is that secluded living?”

Oh, the list could go on and on.  But, there is one more paradox for me to share.  It comes from Jesus words in Matthew 10:39.  “He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.”
 
Have you found yours yet?  Live your life for Jesus…now that makes sense!
Love,
Pastor Allan
