Secret Missions
Q: How deeply do you believe that each day is another opportunity to be on mission with God, that He has tasks in mind for you today that are specifically ordained for you life?
A: And how easily we forget! Father, forgive us for failing to look to you for our divine assignments that you are faithful to give us every day. The assignments may not be glamorous or dangerous, yet they are all important, none the less. Give us the grace to make the most of the tasks and appointments you give us.
Q: Think of one or two particular situations that are present n your life right now. What "secrets" of God's will and way are you learning as you go through these seasons of time?
A: What comes to mind is my desire and commitment to know my parents better. What I'm learning - Relationships cannot be forced, whether with another person or with God. What I hope will be revealed is the depth of a father's love for his children, just as God loves us, even when we mess up.
"I truly believe that if we're willing to see, God uses every difficulty and every assignment to confide deep things for us." (B. Moore). The "assignment" to write letters to my parents at Christmas was an assignment from God. The words in the letters were from God. The dream that I wrote about in dad's letter was from God. While there may be difficult moments in keeping the commitments in the letters, I am looking forward to the deep things that my parents and I learn about each other, and the deep things that God confides to me.
