I make plans and I plan things to make.

Sometimes I follow through.

Sometimes circumstances cooperate.

Sometimes it all seems to fall apart.

I am reading family history. Some folks had plans go terribly awry. In fact, their lives fell apart … or so it seemed.

But if they hadn't, I would not have been here.

Personally, I am glad to be as long as I can be useful.

Use me, Lord. Here are my plans. Here is my life. Take me; make me; shake me; make me pliable and reliable.

Amen.

For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
