EVERYTHING SET IN ORDER
What perfect order has been planned and executed by the Creator in each place to make life livable, enjoyable and sustainable in each place, area and region!
You would think that when God sent His Son into the world as a baby, things would be in order and everything would go smoothly. Yet it was not so!
We inculcate a horror of being a stand-alone that they are afraid to break the mold to walk in freedom! We have boxed them with our insecurities rather than teaching them to think outside-the-box! We make them mindless robots sticking strictly to routine rather than imaginative researchers who delight to explore!
The positive nuance of the word, on the other hand, struck me recently as being such a help to accept what cannot be undone or unmade. It causes one to surmount the sense of defeat at the missed opportunity, the feeling of loss at the lapse of time and the deep grief at what could have been. It provides the stimulus for a positive, constructive, beneficial, productive and effective attitude as well as outlook.

Most often, when we are given a bonus, a raise or are fortunate to have surplus in our hands, we tend to spend it on what we have already desired to have. Surfing online shopping sites or window shopping or scanning magazines for deals has become a favorite pastime and entertainment for us. In doing so, we automatically build up a repertoire of wants and desires which we try to fulfil in the seasons we have excess or surplus. Nothing wrong in doing so when you have a planned budget to catch deals during, say a festival season; but doing it as an obsessive impulse is quite detrimental to our financial well being.
We often don't understand or accept our lot in life, because we don't see our lives in the context of God's plan for all of humanity. We don't comprehend the background of the stage in which the drama of our life is being played out. We don't see the arena in which we live our lives nor do we realize the chain of things in which our lives play their part.
Distractions destroy focus by involvement in unnecessary activity. The legitimacy of any work is dependent on its focus on your destiny or goal.
Life is short. Life is a gift. Life is a choice. Live life fully without regrets
