What if we gave up plans, to do lists, long term goals ... control ... and accepted that we are where we are for a reason?
What would happen if we noticed life's coincidences and paid attention to their messages?
What would happen if we stopped listening to everyone else and searched our own hearts?
Would we find the purpose for our lives, our reason for being here?
Would we choose to make a difference?
Wonder what direction our life would take?
I think a lot of people have done that - here in California - and other states - ... They collect a welfare check and some do pretty good - just by having no plan and "having babies" instead
For me I want a plan - it's God's plan - and things are working out just find - Read the book - the plan is there -
Just having a ball today and stopping by to send you some Love
I can't imagine how those questions would lead you to think of welfare and people having plans or babies ...
I believe that God has a plan for all of us. His plan for me is to read many books. He has given me a true appreciation for people and the many ways we all find purpose.
Glad you are having a good day.

First off - I was totally joking about your post - - yet being a witness to so many kids here in California who "don't" have a plan and just live together - get pregnant - and/or sit on the corner of life with a sign saying "please help me" - because I don't have a plan and I don't want to work.
I guess friend - you would have to be here to see the "saddness" of it all - but here in California and many other states - not having a plan leads to "Welfare" - and abuse of the homeless who didn't have much of a plan in case of an emergency.
Anyway - that is how I got there - from your post - nothing personal - just thinking the the dude I saw sitting on his usual corner - yesterday. Sad but true -
Thanks for explaining the connection ... I see now.
You are feeling a burden for the aimless, people who have given up on life and believing that they have a purpose, to have faith that there is a BIGGER PICTURE or even what it all is for.
I am feeling a burden for people who pack their lives so full of schedules and activities and things and lists of things that they have forgotten how to just LIVE, to be satisfied, to have faith that there is a BIGGER PICTURE or even what it all is for ...
See how our hearts end up singing the same song?
What a good day!

Life is too sweet to fill it up with schedules - help your fellow man, if you can - and always remember to say - "I love you" - - now that is a great plan. I love that song
A VERY GOOD plan!

Are ya talkin' 'bout me having such a filled schedule?
Have a wonderful weekend!
Of course, I wasn't talking about you! You are at a busy stage in life, fulfilling your purpose as a Mom, launching your children into life ... No small task there!
I loved being a full-time MOM! It was the greatest job I ever had!
But now ... these days, I am wondering what I am supposed to do next? What has life been preparing me for? What is "my next big thing"?
I feel like a race horse, waiting IMPATIENTLY for the gate to open. I'm ready, Lord!

I have no idea about after the kids are grown. Even with the two in high school, I still have a 3rd grader who'll be here for a long time. I've got lots of years to work on a plan for then.
Yours will come to you. I promise!
I knew it wasn't a burn, but "Has your rash cleared up?" certainly wouldn't have sounded right ... I could have said, "How are your BITES?"
I crack me up!
People who look for inspiration often find inspiration.
It's like people who are in love ... They see love EVERYWHERE!
Life is good.
