The Puzzle of Life
There are times when I simply cannot make sense of the things that happen in life. I get the feeling that, from some vantage point, it all makes sense. But somehow I just can't seem to see all the pieces of the puzzle. At these times I just choose to leave all the pieces as I found them, hoping that I get to come back to the puzzle again - and maybe next time I'll recognize a new piece that fits. Its a strange feeling (for a guy my age) to go through the day, and have things happen that suddenly bring memories to my mind, and tears to my eyes....

Yeah, there seem to be pieces missing in my puzzle, too, that make me wonder WHAT God is up to. Hope you find the "missing" pieces.
I know the feeling, Man. What's going on with you?
I think that is what makes God God. I'm more and more convinced that life is to be lived, not understood. While mankind has certainly learned much, I think the collective brain power of all mankind across a sea of time is still but a drop in a bucket in a drop in a bucket of but one of Gods thoughts. If life then is anything like a play being acted out on the stage of life, may we all give an honorable, grateful performance under the direction of the perfect Director.
Some puzzles take a looooonnnnnnnnngggggggg time to get together!. How would we ever learn to trust God if we understood every thing at once?. One of the most difficult things for me to learn was that we will not understand or have all the peices of the puzzle in this life, but that is another reason to look forward to the next! And I think we will have some real eye openers there, to say it mildly!
