I was talking to a friend about decision making. Every decision we make involves some kind of risk.
If we choose to go to Hawaii, we risk the opportunity lost of not going to Paris.
If we choose to go to law school, we risk the opportunity lost of being an engineer.
My husband and I risked opening our own real estate business, rather than staying in a mediocre but secure job.
Fortunately, in our suburban middle class world, not too many of our decisions are irreparable. We had to close our real estate business due to the down market, but we did not end up on the street. Whatever opportunity that was lost to us we now have an opportunity to start again.
In the discussion with my friend, I realized how thankful I am for God’s grace and providence. He has my back. I can trust him to put things right, even when I mess things up.
Thank you Lord, that when I chose to be your child, you committed yourself to take care of me.
