Surprised by joy
C S Lewis
I made a new friend recently
We decided to meet for coffee at the town's train depot
It was fitting
She and I both were suddenly overwhelmed by the events of our lives
The travels we had taken
The bridges we had crossed
That had brought us both to this particular place and time
To do the things we needed to do
With those things we learned along the way
When you question the whys and the wheres of your past
Reflect on it all
and you may be surprised to see
How those moments good and bad-
brought you to your present
and that's poetiquejustis
God has made us what we
are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of
good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
