Today marks the completion of 6 years with United for me. Woo-hoo!! I get a raise!!!
It has been an adventure, to say the least.
Best flights. . .when YOU are there!! Keep them coming!!
Throughout it all. . .God's grace. My job is like any other job. . .good days and bad days. I read a devotion this morning from "Streams in the Desert" by L.B. Cowman. I'm including it today to remind myself how much God's grace IS sufficient for me, especially in this job.
The other day I was riding home after a hard day's work. I was very tired and deeply depressed, when quickly, and as suddenly as a lightning bolt, the verse came to me: "My grace is sufficient for you." When I arrived home, I looked it up in the Word, and it finally came to me this way: "MY grace is sufficient for you." My response was to say, "Yes, Lord, I should think it is!" Then I burst out laughing.
Until that time, I had never understood what the holy laughter of Abraham was. This verse seemed to make unbelief totally absurd. I pictured a thirsty little fish who was concerned about drinking the river dry, with Father River saying, "Drink away, little fish; my stream is sufficient for you." I also envisioned a mouse afraid of starving after seven years of plenty, when Joseph says to him "Cheer up, little mouse; my granaries are sufficient for you." Again, I imagined a man high on a mountain peak, saying to himself, "I breathe so many cubic feet of air every year, I am afraid I will deplete all the oxygen in the atmosphere." But the earth says to him, "Breathe away, filling your lungs forever; my atmosphere is sufficient for you."
O people of God, be great believers! Little faith will bring your souls to heaven, but great faith will bring heaven to your souls.
--Charles H. Spurgeon
