More Strange Things

Here is one more entry from my list of strange things that I have learned over the past fifty years:
1. Life is not fair. It's not meant to be. In many ways I am glad that it's not. In my life I have been blessed beyond measure and the longer that I live the more I realise that I truly do not deserve any of it. If my health, wealth, and happiness were dependent upon or in direct proportion to how good, how righteous, or how well disciplined I was, then I would probably be cold, wet, and hungry living alone in a cardboard box somewhere.

Psalms 102:10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.


Psalms 16:5-6 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
