Trust and confidence

My Lord God,
I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think that I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you
Does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this,
You will lead me by the right road
Though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always
though I may seem to be lost
and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
And you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Thomas Merton

I am learning more and more how superficial my trust and confidence in God has been. I am also learning of the richness of his grace, and his goodness and mercy....onward. Good weekend in London with Josh and Jen and Madison and Riley, and others - holidays coming soon, I am ready. Bev off to conduct Aunt Ethel's funeral in White Rock, we'll meet up in Montreal, and we'll all meet up in heaven one day, at the appointed time.
