Wednesday morning in Catacamas has dawned brisk and cool after a night of rain. My recollections of Catacamas are correct as roosters crowed for much of the night. Except for the occasional unmuffled passing vehicle or a few noisy pedestrians, it is tranquil and quiet as the city awakens…until the construction project across the street resumes at 6:30 with hammers pounding to stabilize the wood frame construction.
Today will pass according to what I call Latin Standard Time, filled with the things that God provides on a timetable unexplicable in human terms. The day will fill with good things and multiplied opportunities, but not according to the best of plans.
Life is in one sense no different in the U.S., only we are at times so occupied with the “to do” list that we miss the opportunities God puts in our path. Regardless of where we find ourselves in God’s eternal plans for advancing his kingdom, may we be awake to his will and way.
