Jet lagged thoughts!

Jet lagged means off kilter, out of usual time sequence.  When you travel half-way around the world in a 36 hour time frame it is not hard to understand that the body often struggles to catch up with the rhythm of planet earth.  Often I think of God's perspective as I write and I realize just how majestic our maker is.  HE is ever present in every time zone!  No jet lag in the spiritual realm! God is all knowing and all powerful, ever ready to participate in our lives.  I am grateful as I lay around for three days trying to recover after the long flight from our home in Sri Lanka to our home in Oregon that God is not bound by the confines of time and distance.  Popa and I arrived less than 2 days ago and are enjoying the spaciousness of our home, the lack of barking dogs, and most of all the absence of humidity.  There is a blessing in the lack of schedules, the luxury of a bathtub, and convenience of all night shopping for our favorite food.   I am not in a hurry to form rational thoughts, just want to enjoy the simple ease of sleeping and eating whenever I want.  I am sure that time will sort out the jet lag and I will once again be required to give an account of my life.  Thanks to my creator for HIS grace even in the mundane recovery from jet lag.  Whatever we face, wherever we are, whenever we are in need God is an ever present help.  Call upon HIM, He will hear you and answer!
