Quilts and Paperbacks

… all the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be (Psalm 139:16). 
 
It's a cold, COLD wintry day here and I'm all in for a quilt and a good book. Who doesn't love a good book, right? Some suspense, some romance, some laughs and tears too. A real page-turner. You know, the one where you say you'll get up and do something at the end of this chapter, only to find out you can't put the book down - you have to know what happens next; you have to know how it ends. 
 
My life is a book. Its had its days of suspense, and romance. Lots of laughter and tears as well. I look back and see chapters I hate. Other chapters full of wonderful memories that I don't want to let go. Family members grow up and move on. People leaving for various other reasons. New relationships coming to join in on the next season of life. Bad times come and go. Good times come and go. And still, another chapter; another turn of the page. 
 
How are things in this chapter going for you? Whether good or bad, seasons of life pass. So here's where I could say: make the most of every day. Love the one you're with. Or something like that. But the truth is, all our stories have the same elements of love and mystery, good times and unknown times. But, much like Cinderella, our stories, despite some drama and pain and even hopelessness, our Christian story, we know, has a happy ending. We will be transformed. We will be found in time for a wedding beyond our wildest dreams. And days upon days of happily ever after. So don't stop reading. It promises to be a real page-turner. And happy is how it will end.
