Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story I knew what she was saying was right, but I wasn't in the mood to hear a sermon. In listening to one of her sermons, I was afraid she would start taking up a collection. I certainly wasn't in a mood for that. I wanted to give something but certainly not money. I remember there was a time when you went to a store to buy something, look for it and then take it up to the counter, pay the cashier and then walk out the door with it. I sure miss those good old days. When I called the customer service, they assured me they sent the package out at the correct time, and according to their records, it was delivered within the proper time. Hanging up the phone, I sat there, grumbling about my misfortune. Then the doorbell rang. I got up and opened the door, and a man said, "I got this package several weeks ago, but it's not anything I ordered. Is this something you ordered?" I looked at the package. It had my name on it, but it did not have my address on it. I cheerfully thanked the guy, shook his hand, and wished him a good day. I went back to my chair, opened up the package and there was what I had ordered—all in due time. I thought of a special verse, “To every thing, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2). Everything has a time element to it that has been established by God, and when I surrender to God's time, I will plant seeds of happiness in my life. Tweet
