God has His reasons

The year is fast coming to an end and soon we'll begin another year 2011. What a lot has happened during the last twelve months. To us, these months have passed extremely fast.

We've been retired thirteen and a half years. We lived the first five years at Hillview Park, then eight years in a rented unit at Praisehaven, a Salvation Army complex.

We have now moved to a new unit facing the Trinity Theologial College. Here we hope we shall remain till we make the next move to the place the Lord has gone to prepare for us. There we shall live in the mansions above with our Lord for eternity.

We live in a world of change, but we serve the Lord who never changes. He is the same yesterday, to-day and forever. Let me share a lovely poem written by Mona Westergaard entitled "God has His reasons." And He does not always reveal His reasons. We trust Him and take one step at a time.


God has His reasons
For times and seasons,
For the changes in pattern and line;
The good and the bad,
The joyful, the sad,
Find a place in His ordered design.

God has His seasons
For times and reasons,
And His love in His purpose is shown;
He gives and He takes,
He makes no mistakes,
Give or take, He enriches His own.

God has His reasons
For times and seasons,
Though so much we may not comprehend;
But this we know,
However things go,
All will work for our good in the end.

God has His reasons
For times and seasons,
So why question His will and His way?
He knows what is best,
Acceptance brings rest,
He'll explain at the end of the day. - Mona Westergaard
