Flying Lessons

By Daniel W Shegrud

There you are, comfortable as can be, minding your own business, reading a book, and daydreaming about a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich. Suddenly God shows up and tells you he wants to give you something.

You know from personal experience that God's gifts are kind of tricky to handle and his plans for you seldom work out the way you expect. And yet, he is God, and that means he's a good guy. So what do you do? Stay put? Go with him? Run screaming for the hills?

It doesn't matter. He is God. He knows what you need, he knows where you live, and he knows how to give gifts like no one you ever met.

Here's the deal: Life is wonderful, except for the arts that aren't. Parts like pain, loss, suffering, grief, indigestion, burnt cookies, and all those other parts that hurt our hearts and bodies.

What's up with those? Why doesn't God take them away? Why can't life be fun and happy all the time?

You could read a dozen scholarly volumes and still not understand, or you could read this little fable and find a major clue.
