Footprints in the Windsm # 1717–It doesn’t matter

Footprints in the Windsm # 1717

It doesn’t matter: what we choose to do at the crossroads, with our life. It doesn’t matter: we can choose any direction we wish and it will be good. God is watching to see what we do. “Surprise me,” he says, and giggles with delight that we do. “Make my world.”

Our children called us forth: we were necessary for them to arrive. Our family, future and past generations, needs to be more complete. We as a whole call for and forth children and parents, grandchildren and grandparents. As a whole we call for and forth the wisdom of elders and the innocence of babes. All are necessary to all.
