I wonder THOUGHTS!

I wonder what this season in our lives is really about. I wonder if we are gaining wisdom as we traverse through these difficult passages. I wonder if our hearts and minds are focused on the things that really matter. I wonder...........................................

Papa has had four eye surgeries since December 21st, 2011 and his eyesight is not stable; I no longer wonder if we take sight for granted. Papa has had to be in a specific position for adequate healing of the macular hole; I no longer wonder if the human body can remain face down for seven weeks and survive. Papa has had to let me do all the driving. I no longer wonder if I can drive in excessive traffic at all times of the day and night. Papa has had to let me do all the lifting; I no longer wonder how much I can lift and how often I can lift it. Papa has been house bound; I no longer wonder if we can maintain our sanity if we don't get out at least once a day. Papa has devoured the word of God; I no longer wonder if he can live it out. I have witnessed first hand what it means to be content whether we are abased or abounding. I only wonder if we are pleasing unto our Maker; I do not wonder if we volunteered to be made into HIS likeness.

Wonder is thought provoking and leads us to self examination.....this can be a good thing! We all get to make choices, I wonder......will we choose to be like Jesus?
